George C. Christensen. During the last one hundred years there have been a dozen major depressions and intermediate variations in the cycle of trade that may have been defined as depression . Thete periods of lag in the economic progress of a people have deepened the poverty of millions and have been a benefit only to those who place themselves in position to profit a by temporary or a partial removal of the factor o f price in current property values.' In this age depressions are a result of economic cause sufficiently unrelated to climatic change or other phenomena in the geophysical characteristics of the western hemisphreor of the earth in general to be attributable, in the main to mans manipulation of a man made world.- The duty of government in the distribution of purchasing power is today basic to a consideration o f depression of or conditions, poverty as an unnecessary, though so far, a continuing factor, in economic or social life. - It trouble." is not too much science, but too little that is U at the root of our of U News Bureau Buried History Brought to Light When Woodrow Wilson was in the last stages of his martyrdom he remarked: "God has caused me to be stricken so the fight for the LeaNations of might not be won. It is too early for such a great undertgue The world yet ready." He passed on to immortality, but the world will pay for its folly by aid through the destruction of the nations The true reason for the resignation of Wm J. Bryan from the Wilson cabinet wu the winning of the president to the support of the Federal Reserve Act by Paul Warburg, a Jew. In conferance after conference, Wilson, undecided, listened to Warburg and Col. House for the proposition and Mr. Bryan against. Warburg won the president over with the understanding that it would be a government banking system that would prevent depressions. Bryan knew it would not be and do what Warburg claimed, but would become the cross on which the people would be crucified.' At the last official meeting Wilson tried vainly to convert Bryan and the followed. Then the big bankers brought on the depression of 1920, as deliberately planned and executed as anything could be But financial operations and big bankers and Federal Reserve systems are put a part of the iniquitous system which is responsible. aking. ia not More Power to Fisher Harris City Attorney Fisher Harris made the city and state his debtor by his fearless investigation into the vice conditions here.

How Depressions Are Made We said recently that depressions are usually preceded by a meeting of the big bankers. And here is another illustration: President Grover Cleveland refused to repeal the Silver Purchase Bill which had increased currency for the people by $16,000,000, the bankers called theirmecting at which the We shall have to teach the country an ob-e-ct spokesman said: lesson; we shall have to frighten the people in order to get repeal of the Silver Bill. Then the members at meeting framed a letter which was sent to every national bank in the country, asking them to call loans, curtail credit and bring about a financial crisis and lay the blame on the Silver Coinage measure. That meeting and that letter brought on one of the major panics or degressions in history. Millions were thrown out of work, thousands were made bankrupt, (From the minutes of the McMillan Commission, an extract of the evidence, page 355) And thus has every dspreasion been made. Bryan came forward a little later. lie said : The real fight ie for the con. trol of the national credit.

York Fair To Honor Press Let us suppose that for a given six month period the total in prices of goods available for sale is equal to the total in incomes distributed for the purchase of these consumer goods. What is the condition during the next six month period if the production of goods available for sale is twenty per cent larger than during the preceding period and the quantity of purchase medium i not larger than before. Let us name the price value of the goods available for sale during the first period as Quantity A. The incomes available for its purchase may be given as quantity B. The price value of the goods available for sale during the second period may be stated as Quantity C. Now, B will purchase A because these quantities are equal. But B will not purchase C because C is a fifth larger than either A or B. It must appear obvious therefor that the goods available during the second period ill not all he purchased unless there is an increase in available purchase medium or a material decrease in the price of goods in which latter event tho producer does not recover his costs in trade. 8omc producers may who have found means of maintaining the most favorable NEW YORK (Special) To remind millions of visitors to the New Yorl World's Fair 1839 that freedom of thi press has helped preserve the democratic form of our government, i statue dedicated to that constitutiona liberty will be erected on the $60,000,-00Central Mall, Grover A.
