Jasper County Democrat, Volume 23, Number 65, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 November 1920 — SURELY THIS CAN’T BE TRUE [ARTICLE]

SURELY THIS CAN’T BE TRUE

After All the Campaign Promises ’ Made by the G. O. P. There must be something wrong with the following headlines of the financial and market page of an Indianapolis Republican paper of last Saturday: Stock Prices Lose More From Attacks—Heavy Offerings Mark Day’s Exchange Session. Further Loss in Hogs; Popular Price 314.25—L0wer Prices for Cattle. Most Stocks Continue in Lower Course This Week. General Business Conditions Show No Essential Changes. Wheat Prices Break Under General Selling—Corn Lowest on the Crop. Pre-Election Rallies In Qotton Lost This Week. Wool Irregular and Weak. MEAT PRICES HIGHER. There certainly must be some mistake about these headlines and the reading matter fallowing them. The election Is over and the g. o. p. won from Maine to California. “Confidence has returned" and everything should be booming. . Another thing that looks strange is that hogs and cattle have gone down In price and "meat price's are higher”—up one-half to two cents a pound on all Unes of dressed meats. This would Indicate, if true, that the producer was getting It In the neck and the consumer ditto. * There surely is something wrong about this report after all the campaign promises made by little Willie Hays and _the horde of spellbinders whom he was enabled to employ through the successful efforts of his "Boys, Get the Money” squads.
