In this issue any one who has observed event ts Inclined to sympathise with tho treasury, regardless of whether or not tho treasury is right. Governor Harding and officers of the federal reserve Board have been attacked on every side in an effort lo make a strong plea to members of congress, who have given the impression of a mere clamoring for something which they believe will help them with their constituents. The otfiterg of the government, on th other hand, give the Impression of standing squarely on principle. It ta possible that within the near future, however, some way will be found to give some degree of help to the ' farmers. t v v v- li j Hi r i, t:u.

' The farmer, of course,' Is at thl moment In an embarrassing position. He has the crop on his hands. This crop was raised on the late of conditions at th time the prop was planted, with wages, fertiliser, seed and implements at th prices at which they were last spring. But when It comes to selling th crop, the farmer' must part with it on the basis of present prices. This involves a real loss. Nevertheless, the farmer should try to balance this against the time, four or five years ago, when conditions were exactly reversed. Then he did his planting ant cultivating on the basis of low prices and was able to sell Ms crop on the basis of high prices. But the most serious part of the farmers distress arises, not in his crops, but in his mortgages. During th past four years prices upon lands advanced from 200 to 300 per cent. After making a special payment, farmers often give a mortgage for as much as $100 to $200 an acre. Th farmer who was carrying a mortgage at the rate of $200 an acre, must, in order to Pay the interest, raise a value of $12 on each acre before he ha anything for himself. Under present conditions, which are likely to continue, it te difficult and even Impossible for tha farmer to do this, indeed, once he has allowed himself to get into this position it is difficult for him to avoid foreclosure. There i In thi situation all tho elements to recreate auch a situation aa brought Bryan to th e front twenty-fivyears ago. a Th resident session of congress has now gone far enough to males It possible to survey It as a whole and see what is about, to come out, Thcr is, first of all, the approi'i latlon bills; the passage ot these is the main buslnees of the session.
