Show THE rAGE SIX FARM GROUP CHIEF FAVORS SILVER IN SPEECHOVERRADIO One of the most Intereating and clear cut addresses touching on the necessity of remonitizatian of silver as a measure of Importance In leading the nation to economic recovery was made by radio some time ago by T. E. Howard, chairman of the board of directors of the National Farmers' Union. In the course of his address, Mr. Howard recognized as an outstand- ing agricultural leader in the nation, made the following remarks: Fat Them to Work. The first concern of all thinking patriotic people In this country must be to take the 12,000,000 hungry men out of the bread lines and put them on the Jobs that are waiting to be done. How bat can this be accomplished? The Farmera' Union holds that this can not be done until the purchasing power of the farmers of this nation has been restored. If this purchasing power Is restored, the fanners being the largest number of people engaged In any Industry, and in conduct of the basic industry of all, will then start the. cash registers of the agricultural towns of the nation to Jingle again. The merchants and dealers then will start the opening of factory doors; former employ-enow in the bread lines will again take their places on the pay roll; each man thus placed on an earning basis again starts to buy goods, and we would soon find that an endless chain was tuning; that prosperity again existed and that songs of happiness prevailed Instead of hunger, sorrow and blasted hopes. Hew to DeH. How can this purchasing power best be reestablished? The Farmers' Union taka the stand that the remonetization of silver would do the Job. Instead of the single gold standard being the only basis on which the dollars of the nation are Issued, we would, by the remonetization of silver, spread the base to a double standard, open up another great reservoir from which the fields of com' merce and business might be adequately irrigated. Have free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver. To remonetize silver would naturally mean to the silver states a great Industry. It would employ many thousands of workmen where the mines, smelters and mills have been Idle for many years. This, however, is not the reason why the Farmers' Union is Interested in the remonetization of silver. We know that It would have a effect It would free this nation from the International money racketeers who at the present time can and do have under their control the economic destiny of every man, woman and child In the nation. It wduld remove a baneful influence now held over government Itself by a gang of pirates and racketeers who are sinking the republic with the same degree of heartlessness as Is accredited to pirates of old who sank a ship. Remonetization of sliver would reestablish the purchasing power of the people of the nation merely by the creation of more dollars, thus bringdollar down to ing the its proper fevel, making It easier to secure a dollar with less commodi ties or with less labor than It can be secured for at this time. This plan would raise the price of beans to the Michigan farmer. It would enable him to start paying his taxes and his debts. Likewise, this is true of the wheat farmer in Montana and North Dakota, the cotton fanner in the southland, and the stockman and the fruit grower everywhere. es it should be remonetized would flood the country vUh importations of silver from China, India and other foreign countries. Their arguments are specious. They seek to build up bubbles of gossamer illusion. Let me suggest to you at this time, ladies and gentlemen, that there Is not now In the world enough gold and silver on which alone to base a proper medi-luof exchange. By this, I mean if all the civilized nations of the world had both a gold and silver base on which to Issue their circulating medium, there would not be enough of these two precious metals In existence for the nations to have an honest dollar here, or Its counterpart as used In other countries. A new precious metal would have to be found on which to base mote currency. This nation with a double standard would not be flooded by silver from other nations, but we might and should by that process collect the debts they now pwe us. They do not have the gold with' which to pay the Internaltonal money racketeers and our government, too, nor can they their trade with us under the single gold standard and the proviso Ions of the tariff law. Thus sliver remonetization would collect the war debts and enable us to resume world .trade. None of .the great powers of Europe couM make a good start toward dumping their silver Into tide ohuntry, because they would need it. at homo to preserve what they now believe to be a permanent bald on the commerce of the nations.. Most important of aU, it would reestsblish the purchasing power, of our people. It would harm no one, not even the International bankers. It would give them a square deal. . Smoot-Hawl- ey silver-standa- rd Thera are those who are so foolish as to say that Inflation of the currency of this nation would be the creation of a flat doilan Let me suggest to you now that any time private money lords of this country can Inflate or deflate the currency at will that we then have a flat dollar. Such is the condition today. All we seek now Is an honest dollar; not a dollar eo hard to obtain .that it taka from $2 to $5 worth of commodity or labor to obtain it . So sensitive is nitrogen Iodine, one of the worlds most "touchy" explosives, that it will go off when tickled with a feather.

Under New ee. two-fo- ld high-pric- ed Tool To those who view the increase in the price of farm commodities from a consumers standpoint, let me suggest to you that it Is not now the high price of form commodities that causes 30,000,000 hungfy people to receive food by charity, but it 1 the low price the farmers receive which closed the factories, pulled down the banks, bankrupted the merchants and stopped the trains. And there need be no speculation about what would happen. Please reason it out for yourself. If the base were broadened on which the currency of the nation is Issued, there would be more currency. Tlie more of tills currency or circulating medium there is, the cheaper it is. The cheaper it is the more easily obtainable it is. It can be with less labor and with less commodities than at tlie present time. The remonetization of silver would do still more. It would unleash the frozen assets in every community in the nation. More end more, as we study this question, we become imbued with the Ides that collusion exists between even our own federal treasury officials and this international bank crowd. They testify end bear witness against us In hearings on this matter. There seems to be e continuous propaganda in this country that remonetization of silver would Impair the Integrity of the federal government Let me suggest to you who listen in that to those 12,000,000 hungry men who pad the streets and roads of the nation, and to their 20.000,000 hungry wives and children, the integrity of the government is already impaired.
