$30000000 105 " AS DOLLAR VARIES Senator Ladd Blames Fed- | eral Reserve System for Juggling Values. < URGES FARMER ALLIANCE Says Tariff Bill Threatens Debt as Raw Products Go Un- protected. GREENSBORO, N. C., August 16.— Forty-three billion dollars has been lost by the people of the United States through “unnatural defiation, forced through,” Senator E. F. Ladd, republican, of North Dakota, declared in an address last night before the open- ing session of the Southern Tarift Congress Basing his figures on recent testi- mony of John Skelton Williams, for- mer controller of the currency, Sena- tor Ladd said the nation “is indebted to Mr. Williams for enlightening it as to the workings of the federal reserve system as now carried out by seven men who have the power to inflate and contract without regard to the government. “We have recently witnessed the methods pursued under the guidance of these uncontrolled guardians of our money for further enslaving the people of our country,” the speaker said. “Having inflated the currency until the dollar is worth about 40 cents, the government proceeds to borrow $24,000,000,000 to help pay the expenses of a great world war The real value of these dollars was not to exceed $12,000,000,000 in the purchas- ing power under normal conditions. Purchasing Power Defiated. “The same seven men proceeded to deflate the purchasing power of the dollar, and now the government will have to liquidate that debt; that is, the common people, the real workers of the land, will pay for the most of it on a basSis representing the value of $50,000,000,000 when expressed in terms of agricultural products.” Referring to the tariff, Senator Ladd advocated an alliance between the south and west to prevent the farm- ers from becoming the “prey of the great manufacturing centers.” “The farmer is not justified,” he said, “in remaining silent under the treatment which affords 10 per cent protection on raw hides, and then gives 150 per cent protection on leather products, so hidden that the average person does not know what is the trouble.” rdney a sop is thrown if accepted, will plunge the farmers more deeply into debt than ever be- fore. He said the bill did not afford adequate protection either to the stockman, the sheep industry. the grain grower or to the agricuitural products of the south. Urges Action hy Farmers. “Unless the farmers of the’ south and west make their demands felt," Senator Ladd said, “they will be fooled into quiescence until it is too late and the eastern manufacturer has built a wall of protection about him that will enslave the American farmer and force him to lower his standard of Hving.” The eastern manufacturer, he said, stood for high tariff on manu- factured goods but for no tariff on raw products, which, in reality, were the farmers’ finished products. Senator Ladd siid some progress was' being made in the enactment of laws beneficial to agriculture, and de- clared the present session of Con- gress had passed or had under con- sideration more constructive and helpful legislation dealing with agri- culture than had been enacted during the preceding ten years. C. W. Parsons Speaks. C. W. Parsons, secretary of the American Chemical Soclety, made an appeal for “pressure upon Congress to continue the embargo against for- eign dyes,” charging that the recent vote in the House of Representatives against the embargo was “due to Ger- man propaanda.” Mr. Parsons stated that he repre- sented no dyemaker and no part of the industry: he called for support of a dve embargo on the ground that otherwise the American dve industry will be wiped out. He spoke of the necessity of preparedness for war. “No tarift will do,” he stated, “against the cut-throat methods of Germany, now better prepared than ever to Dalin&MartinCo. 1215 F St. and 1212-18 G St. PASTE—LIQUID—POWDER Polishes and preserves the finish on floors, fur- niture, woodwork, leather, linoleum. ‘Wizard Dancing Wax is a pow- dered wax in a handy sifter-top can.

BALTIMORE, August 16.—The report that Maryland's supply of whisky {s' almost exhausted f{s brahded as propaganda of the bootleggers’ trust, in order to boost the price, by internal revenue officers, who have figured out that there are 871,000,000 good sized drinks still left in the Maryland warehouses. Chief Deputy Collector of In- ternal Revenue Wiegand gave out figures today which showed that there are still 3,093,000 gallons of whisky in Maryland warehouses, despite thé fact that the hot and thirsty month ' of July caused 72,862 llons to come out of bond. is was almost double the amount taken out in June. The total withdrawals during the year up to August 1 was 289,112 galions. Therefore, officials say, the story which is- going the rounds now that the thirsty had better stock up at $10.per because the “supply is getting low” and the with- drawals are going to be slim, seems to be propaganda of some sort. It is reasonable to suppose that some portion of the 3,093,000 gallons is going to get into the hands of the bootfeggers before it is consumed, but it is equally easy to figure that at §2 per prescrip- tion the medical profession will 1 make §$49,488,000 on the total supply before it is finally ex- hausted. —_— POUND LOAF BILL PASSEDBY SENATE Fixes Standard Weight of Bread in D. C.—Cemetery Ordered Abandoned. The Ball bill, establishing the pound loaf as the standard loaf of bread in the District of Columbia, was passed by the Senate late yeaterday after- noon.

S. Broussard of Loui; iana and Willlam Burgess. member of the United States Ttariff Commis- sion. Mr. Broussard and Mr. Bnr- gess urged that the tariff question be divorced from politics. The congress today was expected to adopt a resolution for a tariff on southern products. The resolution was said to commit the congress to tariff schedules which will equalize the cost of production in this country with that of foreign countries, so “far as may be consistent with pub- lic welfare, such schedules to be so placed as to fairly distribute the bur- dens and benefits among all fndus- tries without discriminating against any section, class or product, to the end that there may be maintained American standards of living in every line of effort.” The afternoon and concluding ses- sion of the congress was to be given over to discussion and general busi. ness.

By the Associated Press, RICHMOND, Ind, August 16.—So- clal reform work, in which American Quakers have taken a prominent part, was reviewed here today at a cen- tennial celebration of the Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends, the larg- est body of Quakers in the world. Ninety-two-year-old Timothy Nich- olson, the “grand old man” of the Quakers, presided. For nearly sev- enty years he has been active in prison reform, and he has been presi- dent of the Indidna Anti-Saloon League since its organization. Prof. Rufus M. Jones, head of the department of philosophy in Haver- ford College, spoke on “The Future of Quakerism,” and Prof. Harlow Lindley, direcfor of the department of archives and history of the In- diana State Library, read a history of this yearly meeting. Later In the day incidents in the history of the Quakers were repre- sented in a pageant on the campus of Earlham College. Slavery was one of the chief causes for the early Quaker movement from the Carolinas, Georgia, Tennessee and Virginia to eastern Indiana and west- ern Ohio. The chief labor of members of In- diana Yearly Meeting in behalf of the slaves was exerted through the “un- derground railway.” Three branches centered in Fountain City, nine miles north of Richmond. Levi Coffin, a member of the Indiana Yearly Meeting, was head of the un- derground system. He is credited with assisting 3,000 slaves northward, and another member of the meeting with helping 2,700. Beginning mission work among the Shawnee Indians at_ Wapakoneta, Ohlio, in 1821, Indiana Yearly Meeting has continued its activities among the Indians to this day. This meeting is said to be the only Friends body that officially has under- taken prison work. Its first commit- tee was appointed in 1867 and it has since done notable work in this state. S. Edgar Nicholson, presiding clerk of Indiana Yearly Meeting, is secre- tary of the Anti-Saloon League of America.

By the Associated Press. CHARLOTTE, N. C., August 16.— The only instance of violence offered in connection with the opening of the Concord cotton mills today occurred at the Hartsell mill, when a woman and three men selzed a special officer and disarmed him before other offi- cers could come to his protection. The woman and two of the men were arrested, the other assailant escaping. The attackers appeared to be satisfied when they took the officer's pistol away from him, no bodily harm hav- ing been attempted, This occurred prior to the coming of the the state troops to the mill property. The troops were pot sup- posed fo be on duty until 7:30. at which hour Capt. Melvin G. Caldwell of the Charlotte company led his militiamen to the mill and stationed them on the property. The mill opened without further disturbances of any sort. The situation at the Locke mills was renorted as unchanged. The Con- cord company, under command of Capt. Kenneth Caldwell, is adin on duty there. It is not anticipated that the Can- non mills at Kannapolis will attempt to open before tomorrow morning. The management indicated to Gov.

Increasing importance of Baltimore, Md., s an export point for grain sent overseas is given as one of the rea- sons the Western Maryland railroad should be granted a loan of a million dollars for enlargement of its grain- handling facilities, the road stated yesterday in a petition for the loan to the Interstate Commerce Com- mission. The petition says the result of the handling cf so large a portion of ex- port grain moving through Balti- more by the Western Maryland when it has so small a portion of the total elevator facilities is to prevent prompt unloading and return of freight cars. Losses to the road be- cause of the limited capacity of its elevators at Baltimore are about $99,- 000 a day. mostly in lost car days, the petition of the road said. During the first three months of 1921 about 6,000,000 bushels of grain was diverted from the Western Mary- land through Baltimore on account of lack of elevator capacity, the petition said, adding that Baltimore has de- j veloped into one of the most impor- tant grain ports of the nation.
