Fourth of July

Interest in this year’s observance of the Fourth of July centers at McCulloch Park where the park and recreation departments have arranged an extensive program for the day. In the morning the soft ball baseball games will start the athletic events and the afternoon program consists of a baseball game between the Muncie city nine and the Dayton, Ohio, team. There will also - be horse shoe contests, croquet and tennis tournaments and various other games and contests for the boys and girls. Boyd Gurley, editor of the Indianapolis Times, will deliver a twilight patriotic address and the night program climaxes w r ith a big display of fireworks. Everybody is invited to attend the city celebration at McCulloch Park and there will be plenty of parking space. Police and firemen and Boy Scouts will assist in the parking of cars and a large part of the park north of Highland avenue will be devoted to parking space.

Grundy Boomerang

rro MIV yfli

Defenders of the Hoover administration, finding themselves in difficulties when it comes to excusing the Grundy tariff, usually attempt to evade the issue by calling attention to the circumstances that in the various votes on individual items Democratic senators voted for the Smoot-Hawley

duties.

From this they make the deduction that the Democratic assault on the extortionate measure is insincere, and is made purely with a view of discrediting President

Hoover.

Of course, some of the Democrats in the Senate voted for high rates on products of their states. So long as it was proposed the tariff should be boosted all along the line, they naturally wished that their own constituencies should not be placed at a disadvantage. In other words, if it was planned to raise the cost of living to benefit Pennsylvania, they could see no justice of accepting the additional burden for Arizona, for example, without making Pennsylvania contribute to higher prices for Arizona products. They were against inflicting the increased rates all along the line, for that meant exploitation of the whole population to provide more profit for a comparative few, but if the administration wias able to force such a measure on the country they felt bound to protect their home industries so far as they could. When it came to balloting on the completed bill they voted against it, even though some of the producers of their own states were embraced among the favored ones. Perhans their philosophy w T as faulty when they sought to include the things in which they had a home interest, for under the Grundy rates the people of no gain in tariff profits as much as the tariff costs them, but to excuse the total enormity by citing that a few Democrats voted for individual in creases is absurd as it would be to insist that Reed of Pennsylvania was a free trader because he resisted putting a duty on manganese. The big steel companies wanted that alloy kept on the free list, as they had manganese mines and advantageous contracts abroad. Incidentally the list of Republicans who fought against a duty on manganese reads like the roster of the Old Guard. Among those who opposec a duty on hides we find a similar list—even Smoot opposed that. The instances could be multiplied indefinitely, yet all of these voted for the completed bill, and nobody has sought to charge them with favoring a low tariff. The test was when the completed bill came up for passage. Nearly all the Democrats voted against the abomination but there were enough administration Republicans to put it over.

SENATOR LEWIS

(Continued from I-age One) son-Roosevelt representatives in the Wilson admimstration to relieve agriculture and preserve the farmer. The finances of favor, commissioned at Washington, grasped without conscience and officially amalgamated the institutions of the people into one control, that they could be made the agent of the speculators, who were permitted to take billions of the people’s money to juggle with stocks—in Wall Street, New York. These buccaneers plunged the shallows and depths of official gambling with the nation’s money— while the business, agriculture and finance of honest industry—in all (he productive country—was denied the loan of a dollar on their unquestioned credit. This crime of politics of government management finally dried up the springs of industry—it paralyzed the commerce of the western states—and drained the banks to the dregs. Then it was that bankruptcy fell upon business, withering all agriculture—bringing poverty on the citizen and penury on his home and his children. “This unmeasured calamity was not the product of the World War nor of world conditions—it was the product of the deliberate acts of government managers in Washington committing their felonies against honor and justice by the name of ‘Republican politics.’ Betrayal by Bill “Knowing that experience had fixed the economic truth that only in exchange of trade and commerce lay prosperity to a nation, the new democracy of Wilson administration created a board of competent] experts to adjust rates and apply schedules in such manner as gave adjusted protection to our own people and just measure for imports to nations of the world. This was the Democratic Progressive Tariff Board. “So equitable was the result to the nations of earth and so profitable to our America, that our exports to the world in the years 1919 and 1920, even amidst the ashes and tears of a war stricken hemisphere— reached eight billions of dollars

a year.

“This record, any year of exports since or before, in the lifetime of the present generation, exceeded the highest return of the highest of any Republican administration since Wilson, of more than three billions of dollars. It was in this eight billion a year, and in this excess of three and five billion over Republican return—that fixed the United States as the greatest creditor nation of all earth. It was this result, achieved by the policy of Democratcy—that opened the gates of the world and unbarred the ports of all the seas to the products of the American farmer. It was wheat—corn—hogs—cattle and fruit that made up the excess figure. It was this that gave the farmer of the western and southern United States the first place in agriculture of all farmers of earth. This was the bounty of the Wilson Democratic administration, supported by the true Republican spirit of Republicanism in the unified and proven theory of Democratic commerce that enriched farmer and financier—agriculture or manufacturer—of the whole United States. Privilege and Monopoly. “Then came the baleful hand oj privilege—it reached through the Washington administration, pushed and turned the system of the people to where it could be first warped—then shattered—at the bidding of monopoly, which compelled the supplanting of the successful systeam of Democracy and installing in its place a political machine of tariff trickery that that ^rricaded tha trade of the world against America and brought in retaliation on the United States the antagonism of all world commerce and the opposition of international trade until the sinister system now called Republican has closed our factories, struck from the payroll our toiler, destroyed our shipping and paralyzed railroad and water transportation throughout the states and territories. “This overturning the people and installing monopoly favor has brought the workman to beggary —the once independent business to humiliating bankruptcy—then, to secure the favored ones against any organization that by joint efforts of Democracy and true Republicanism might revise the schedules of isolation and restore the exchanges of business barter between the world, the President at his request is given the power to usury Congress—and he alone to choose when any change in schedule shall be permitted. Thus, those who became favored in privileges in turn for favor to him of politics, are the only sources to be rewarded with opportunity of monopoly and the riches of corporation trust and money amalgam-

ations.

Nation Without a Friend “So, here we stand, a nation once the friend of all, now befriended by none—and with enemies from all. As the final result, all our once rival nations now forge ahead of us in world trade and even Russia—the Pariah nation of earth—beating us at our very door—while our master ec onomists and manufacturers — who put their millions of money made from America in foreign lands to build factories that give tail to the foreign competing work men—selling their made goods to America; and those gorged generals, who, with American capital, finance the rivals of European lands against our home—America —continue to shout out the lie of patriotism proclaiming it as “protection to labor.” To these betrayers of our nation and despoilers of our people, we cry. ih the words of St. Matthew; ‘Ye are

gry of earth—looms weaving cloth for all the naked—our forests and hill lands offering all the substance for habitation and shelter. Our Nation at peace—never invaded— never conquered—a Godly land of Christian souls. Why should there be hunger, want, need and suffering? It is not the decree of God, nor the work of man, but the oppression of government, under the direction of Masters of Privilege, who break down the weak, starve the hungry, make naked the for|lorn and shelterless the wanderer. We cry out with King Lear. ‘Poor, naked wretches! Wherever ye are —that bide the pelting of this patiless storm, how shall your house less heads, your unfed sides, defend against such seasons as these. Go feel what wrjKches feel, that thou may shake the superflux to them and show the Heaven’s no more just.’ “We, the Democracy, present a program of immediate remedy: First, cut off expense of multiplied bureaus with the armies of em ployes. Revive friendships with world nations lost to us by the in justice of administration politics, present propositions for suspending war debts now crushing the generations who fought with their lives for their principle and put the money burden on those who will enjoy the victories without having to endure the fury and fire of battle strife. Demand a new session of war nations to revise and soften the Peace Treaty among those it bears unjustly. Arrange an adjusted tari:, not for the favorites of privilege, but for the privileges of industry and commercial honesty. Not for a free trade but for a freer trade. Restore to the people the people’s banks, and protect depositors by law against the embezzling offificials, stealing under name of ‘Frozen Assets’ and mistaken investments. Feed the hungry—take the surplus crops of

beautiful outward, but, within filled with all uncleanliness. Ye vipers and hypocrites! How can ye escape the damnation of Hell?’ American Ships Betrayed “An now, with the world demanding our produce, hunger, famine and increasing armies appearing at every shore—crying for bread grown from American grain —ready to pay the needed price— our ships paid for by the American taxpayers—which could have conveyed our grain to wherever it was needed and delivered the product of our factories 1o commerce or to the new rebuilding countries —our administratice officers, under orders that would give monopoly to steamship trusts—first .destroyed and then sacrificed the fleet of the commercial ships we for was uses had built and pud for. Then, by a private law g 3 millions to the new created s .ip trust subsidy to let them go ige the farmers and pillage the c ity producer to such shipping rates as consumed the profit of every American adventure of agriculture

and manufactory.

“This crime it is that has stifled the farmer, locking the grain in the warehouse to rot and denying his the use of his own ships—to take his crops to the peoples of he world in want, crying for the bread and ready to pay the price

of his just demand.

“With this state of paralysis on agriculture, the farmer became the victim, the creditor a sacrifice— while hanks of the number approaching the thousands cracked and fell, leaving the depositor robbed of his money or deprived of his credit—While stark hunger and privation became the condition of

the life of millions.

“Yet— says the President in his speech in Indiana—‘There was no law to save the banks or portect the depositor from all this season

of despoilation!’ Loser in Billions

“With this fact facing our government as a condition put on our people as the effect of destroying the protection given by the laws provided by the Democracy of the Wilson era—yet no message is sent by the President—no request to Congress or to the people—-ask-

now a loser in billions of money and hopeless without relief. “Democracy asks. ‘Is this Hoover Repubblicanism?’ Yet, says the President, he has plans. We have heard this for two years. Even now do we hear from the President of these plans to built beauteous castles on some man’s land by government money, drawn from tailers, for which the workman mortgages his body and draws (be blood of his children to pay interest. We cry unto the President to say: Instead of building new homes and placing the poor, under more debt, let his save those now lost by mortgage foreclosure, confiscated through tax burdens laid on the citizen. “Democracy asks: “If the plan for government is good to provide houses of art and culture for the future, why is it not just to provide now food and shelter in the day of necessity?’ Shouts the President, ‘We have plans!’ But we ask, ‘For whom and how and where?’ and catch the echo of the response, ‘In the sweet bye and bye!’ The President cries, ‘Have patience and forbearance!’ ‘Note’ —says the President—‘that the percentage of loss add destruction is not one-third of what still remains as riches to the rich and hopes to the poor.’ We illustrate this reply to the father of a family of six, where two children have starved to death with government food all around: The President answers: ‘Why complain? You have had a loss of only two by hunger, because of government refusing you bread—you have yet four more to live or die!’ ‘Have faith!’ cries the President: ‘Yes’— we say ‘but God's prophet cried out “Faith without words alaileth nought!” ’ The American cries out ‘Mr. President, we want the works’ Anl we beg him to hear the envoy of Christ wailing His threat—‘I will come as a swift witness against him who oppresses the laborer in his wage!’ Behold Our Nation “Sirs, behold our Nation; Our country is rich—one-half the gold of the world in its vaults—earned by the genius and toil of its industrious patriotism.
