Democrats learn from the statistics that the number of mortgages In Indiana has increased largely for 1909 as compared with 1908. Whereupon the Democratic taste for calamity is pleased, and a great shout goes up from Democratic newspapers, prodded fey Taggart's publicity bureau. In the mind of the sapient publicity agent of calamity it is enough to hear that more mortgages exist in Indiana in 1909 than in 1908. He doesn't go to the trouble to inquire what sort of mortgages have been recorded, nor does he find out what is behind the mortgage in Indiana at this time.

If the Democratic calamityite had taken trouble to look into the books he would have found that the number of school fund mortgages in Indiana has been greatly reduced. He would have found a large falling off in the number of school fund mortgages in 1909 as compared with 1908.

Now the school fund mortgage is the one which is resorted to by the land owner who needs money and needs it badly. Such a mortgage is satisfied by the land owner who does not need money, but who has the money with which to pay his old debt. So there are satisfied school fund mortgages in large numbers, and the total number of school fund mortgages is decreased very largely. This is a pleasing prosperity situation. It is the true index to the farmers' financial independence.

And by that same token the increase in the number of mortgages indicates a healthful condition among the farmers. For investigation shows the mortgages are in large proportion made by men who are buying additional acres. They own farms and they desire to expand, so they raise money on their valuable holdings and reach out for the farm next at hand. Or some of these land owners in Indiana have been buying lands in other slates, and have seemed loans for this pu rpose.

Farming as a business has come to a standing it never has had before. In the present. Republican era of fair prices for farm products the man who owns land has under his hand a source of wealth. He makes good profits off his forty, and he becomes ambitious to own his neighbor's forty. So he executes a mortgage and gets the money with which to increase his own business.

Why does the farmer do this? Because he has faith in farming as a paying business. So, after all, hi3 mortgage is an evidence of prosperity and a sign or' g,cd faith in the future. There is no comfort in this for Democratic calamity howlers.

The man who is increasing his business in hopefulness and confidence that he will continue to make fair profits, is not the man to vote this fall for Democratic uncertainty.

The farmer who is increasing his business bases his expansion on prevailing good prices and on the promise that those good prices will continue indefinitely. The value of his lands depends on the value of his crops. The profit of the farmer is in the prices he gets for what he raises. Simple, isn't it?

It is safe to say that the Indiana farmer who ha3 been*"buying more land and raising larger crops on a basis of good prices will so vote as to continue the conditions under which price values and land values will stay up and not go down.

There is no demand among the farmers for a return to the era of low prices.

Why Vote a Change?

We promised our readers some time ago to scan our exchanges closely, especially the Democratic papers, to see if any reason was going to be put forth why the farmers should vote for a change again. So far we have not seen a single claim anywhere that the farmer should vote the Democratic ticket. Really, we are a little curious to know what arguments the Democrats are going to put up in Spencer county. T^ie election is now only two months off. They can't go out through the country and make any votes talking low prices. Our farmers had too much of that during the last Democratic administration.—Rockport Journal.

Corn Prices Suit.

Indiana farmers are well pleased 9rer the corn crop outlook, and are well pleased by the price prospect. They know that to force prices to the old 15 cents a bushel plane of Democratic times would mean a tremendous loss to corn-growers everywhere. Democratic farmers do not desire a change which means the loss of half a dollar a bushel or more, on the corn crop. a
