In the midst of the greatest pros-
perity this country has ever known,
a bank situation exists that has nev-
er existed before in the history of
the country and will not probably be
again repeated for years to come.
All parts of the country outside of
New York report a splendid condition
existing in every way. No better way
of estimating the truth of these state-
ments is found than in the real value
of American^ agricultural products,
which exceed by $500,000,000 the value
of the crop last year, which was
about $7,000,000,000. The action taken
by the banks in Texas, as well as
stockholders has the fullest endorse-
ment of the people. Of course it is
a burden on the business interests of
the country especially at this season,
just as the enormous crops of all
kinds are expected to be put on the
market, but patience guided by intel-
ligence will help to tide over the sit-
uation and give confidence, until the
money held for the moving of Ameri-
can crops is again in circulation which
will enabl^ banks to again resume
payments. New York reports the
pressure over and a comparative calm
now reigns in financial circles and
that the enormous influence which
American products are exerting in
building up a credit balance j abroad
has been a most signal development
during the past few days. The^ ship-
ment of tobacco to Europe this year
promises to break all records. Offi-
cials of the American Tobacco Compa-
ny estimate today with the orders on
hand that the year’s exports will ex-
ceed 50,000,000 pounds of manufactur-
ed tobacco, which is far in excess of
the amount exported last year. Eu-
rope will pay over $100,000,000 for
this tobacco and much of this money
will soon be available in this market,
fta the contracts with the European
importers call for immediate payment
on delivery. Shipments of tobacco to
Europe will be heavy in November an
December, according to the officials of
the American Tobacco Company. Re-
ports from the South show the cotton
crop irioving toward Europe, .while
the West is sending grain and meat
products in the same direction. The
fall shipments of American products
chiefly agricultural, thus come at an
opportune time in giving the country
large credits abroad, making it dif
ficult for the foreign money markets
to withhold gold even by the most
drastic raising of their discount rates

THANKSGIVING DAY
President Roosevelt Issues Procla-
mation for Nov. 28,
Washington, Oct. 26.—President
Roosevelt today issued his Thanksgiv-
ing Day proclamation through the Sec-
retary of State,naming the last Thurs-
day in November, the 28th, as the
day.
The proclamation follows:
“Once again the season of the year
has come when, in accordance with
the custom of our forefathers for
generations past, the President ap-
points a day as the special occasion
for all our people to give praise to
and thanksgiving to God.
“During the past year we have been
free from famine, from pestilence, fron
war. We are at peace with ajl the
rest of mankind. Our natural resour-
ces are at least as great as those* ofS
any other nation. We believe that
in ability to develop and take ad-
vantage of these resources the av-
erage man of this nation stands at
least as high as the average man of
any country. Where in the world is
there such an opportunity to free
people to develop to their fullest ex-
tent all the powers of the body and
of the mind and of that which stands
above the body and mind, charity?
Mercy has been given us from high
and much will rightly be expected of
us in return. Into our care the ten
talents hvae been entrusted, and we
are to be pardoned neither if we
squander and waste them, nor yet if
we hide them in a napkin; for they
must be fruitful in our hands. Ever
throughout the ages, at all times and
among all peoples, prosperity has
been fraught with danger, and it beA
hooves us to beseech the giver of all
things that we may not fall into love
-Of ease and of luxury; that we may
not lose our sense of moral respon-
sibility; that we may not forget our
duty to God to our neighbors.
“A great Democracy like ours, a
Democracy based on the principles of
ordinary liberty, can be perpetuated
only if in the heart of ordinary citi-
zens there dwells a keen sense of
righteousness and justice. We should
earnestly pray that this spirit of
righteousness and justice may dwell
in the hearts of all of us and that
our souls may be inclined evermore
both toward the virtues that tell for
gentleness and tenderness, for loving-
kindness and forbearance one with
another, and toward those no less
necessary virtues that make for man-
liness and rugged hardihood, for with-
out these qualities neither nation nor
individual can rise to the level of
■] greatness.
‘Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roose-
velt, President of the United States,
do set apart Thursday, the 28th day
of November, as a day for general
thanksgiving and prayer, and on that
day I recommend that the people
shall cease from their daily work,
and, in their homes or . in their
churches, meet devoutly to thank the
Almighty for the many and great
blessings they have received in the
past, and to pray that they may be
given the strength so to order their
lives as to deserve a continuation of
these blessings in the future.”

Insurance companies are to be cut
dowji, and the auctioneer’s hammer
is to knock off the handsome furni-
ture of the Mutual Life Insurance
Company in that city. The trustees
of the Mutual decided some time af-
ter Richard A. McCurdy retired from
the presidency that the president’s
office need not be a private suit fur-
nished and decorated at a cost of
$90,000 to the company by artiBts im-
ported from France, where furniture
was all purchased. They decided al-
so that one board room and a very
common-place one at that, was good
enough for meetings of the trustees
and that it was hardly necessary for
each of the executive officers to have
a meeting room of his own in which
to call together the committee of
which he might be chairman. In pur-
suance of this policy there was a
great cleaning out in the Mutual of-
fices with the idea of renting some of
the space made available by the proc-
ess of confining the business of the
company within the ordinary limits.
The furnishings taken from these
rooms, which represent an original
invesmtent of not less than $1,000,000
are now to be put on sale. And these
are the companies which complained
of the drastic Texas laws, and which
refused to Invest a part of their cap-
ital in Texas. They preferred that
the money be squandered in New
York than Invested in Texas, and Tex-
as preferred that they shouldpull up
and leave if the laws did net suit
them.

On the 3rd of September the repre-
sentatives of one and a half million
ot planters met in Little Rock, Ark.,
The committee appointed to receive
report of crop conditions were not
boys but men who had spent their
lives raising and handling cotton. Af-
ter getting reports from all over the
cotton belt, they put the minimum at
15c for lint middling basis, provided
the law of supply and demand gov-
erned prices. That committee had bet
ter means of knowing the crop condi-
tions than any man or men in these
United States of America. The South-
ern Cotton Growers’ Association, meet
lng in Georgia about the same time,
after hearing from the fields also set
the minimum at 15c. Is It possblie
that all these planters knew less
about crop conditions than the gam-
bler of the cotton pits of New Or-
leans and New York? You will take
notice there are no men bulling the
market now; hands off, the fight is
on. The planters are the bulls. Are
we going to allow (I won’t call them
thieves) the manipulators of prices
to make their annual raid on this
Southland and take without any re-
turn one hundred million dollars of
the hard earnings of the cotton plant-
ers? Are the planters going to submit
to this skinning or will we by concert-
ed action on our part put our veto on
it? The Farm and Ranch, in its stand
for the farmer sent out 2,000 letters
to bankers of the cotton belt ask-
ing as to their helping to hold cotton
and their ability to do so. The an-
swers have been unanimous in favor
of the planters holding and nearly all
able to loan on cotton money to plan-
ters to meet their obligations. The
United States Government loans to
banks of New York to help out the
gamblers when they get in a tight
by hammering stocks and bonds, why
not deposit a few millions in the
wheat and cotton belt in banks to
loan the farmers, on grain in elevators
and cotton in warehouses at two-
thirds its value, the best security in
the world? The difference Is the New
York manipulators must have their
pound of flesh, to the detriment of
all.
While the farmers only ask a fair
price- for what^they produce and by
standing together they will get it and
by so doing benefit all mankind. You
remember the cotton crop of 1906, the
producer received from 9c to 11c per
pound, in March, 1907, when out of
the planters’ hands, up lint went to
14c. How does that look as a business
proposition? Not much credit to the
planter, when he pays three commis-
sions instead of one. All men should
meet their obligations In cash or sat-
isfy the creditor. The planter with
our system of warehouses holds the
key. The only way it can be wrest-
ed from us is by our bankers to re-
fuse loans on cotton and the merchant
force collections by bank correspond-
ents wholesale and retailers, and
when they do that they symply kill th
goose that lays the golden egg.
