heavy pressure upon the farmers to
force them to market their wheat. ;
"This pressure, althouch heavier than
in recent years, was perhaps no worse
than it had t een many times before anl
would not of itself caused such disas
trous results if it had not been accom-:
panied by an entirely new development
in the industry.
"The speculators who had hitherto
received practically unlimited credit ;
with which to bridee the pap between
the producer and consumer were told
they would receive no credit with
which to carry the wheat Wheat had
always been the very best commodity
from a credit standpoint, and suddenly
became the most despised.
"Grain men were told that they could
cet no credit tn buy wheat unless It had
been sold. Millers were told that they
could pet no credit to buy unless the ,
flour had been sold or tbey could show!
an Immediate market for it. Whole-
Falers we-e told that they could not se
cure credit to carry any larce stocks of
flour.
"This unprecedented action practical
ly placed the market in the r.rltish

"It is clear then that something must
be done. The speculative syatem that
throuph its manipulations kept the av
erase wheat farmer workine at top
speed for a bare livir.z either has de
veloped a Frankenstein of its own or
has taken r,n a more terrible aspect.
"We have seen the mistakes of the
earlier organizations which made use
only of the small amounts of capital
that the producer was able or willin
to supply and reelected the asset which
the speculators used ir. taking their
toll from him.
"Tou can take a leaf from his book
and write vour own story upon it in

"To do this you rr.-at disregard the
