Secretary Wilson pitints nut Unit "thu workers have, more at stake in this great con f lit t than any oilier, but-nice it ib only in a democracy tlmt the common peoplo can come into their own." "Secretary Wilson's statement is as follows : , 'To tlio Wage-Workers of the United States: "The proat European war in which vc iiro now involved came In the peo ple of the western hemisphere as n terrible shnelc, and to no portion of the people did it pome as n irrentor shock than to the wajre-enrnoi-s of the United States. They believed in and wanted international pence, but they wanted it on a basis ot iuter-! national justice which would insure WHERE Germany liiiU been 6cr:urin her cotton for use in high explosives is shown by figures made public at Washington. Cotton hu been supplied ilim the nculrals, principally TT.dlpnd anl Sweden, tho some has pevcolati'ii tlu u Norway, Ij.ionuivl;. Spain and !Switzf Jarid. This cotton came fj-..in the United States, which justifies the president's embargo. L'efore the war, the average mill consumption of cotton in Norway was J .1.000 bales, and the average .importation from tbo Lmti'd States was i'W7. in 101.; this rose ;0,y!) I nearly six times as much as Norway nsJ. The pre-war average tui.uu.il ,oii--in.'ipl.ioti n l.icuinai'l, was 2:.'.(I0 hull's, and in prc-wfr iiripoitati-'ii 7M) bales. In 191 j, imports i'rout the United States increased to .18,831. Switzerland's mill consumption before? the war was lOlvlOO bales, nolle of it imported from Amei a a. In 1915 she imported i;,:W9 bales from Ihe Unifeil Slates. Spain averat!'Ml ,T 17,000 bales of cotton in her industries ; annuanv ik tore ine war, oi: wnieii zni.io i eaintt irom America. In 1.1)15 ::he imviorted -W 1.50 1 bales of our eotton. Ilol md's jvej':ige mill consumption "in the pre-war period wis 80,800 bales, of which 23.371 bales came from .he United StaU t. But in 1915 she imported 521,035 bales of American cotton sis and one-half' times her mill capaeitv. ' Sweden's annual mill consumption before the war was fto.OOO bales, of which 30,824 bales came from our south ern states. Tn 1915 she imported 758.307 bales of Ameri can eotton, seven and a half times her mill capaeitv. Holland and Sweden together took one-seventh of all our cotton exports. "What did they want of so much more than they could possibly use ? They resold it to Germany as they did all their other excess imports, and kept Ger many supplied with munitions, as they did with food. The embargo on eotton will not injure the American eotton industry. The indicated vield is 12.000,000 bales. The demand is estimated at 14.000,000 bales. All the allies need it, and our own need is enormous. Cotton, which before the war yielded the planters 10 cents, now brings them 24 and 25 cents.

Among the Medford citizens who have recently paid either interest or principal ou paving assessments as- one hundred dollars' ana WALL STREET UNPATRIOTIC fSTALL STREET is setting a poor example of patriot- ism. Perhaps because the war tax measure takes away the excess profits of the speculators, or perhaps, actuated by greed alone, they have engineered a raid upon f,ll securities, depressing to a point, far below their in trinsic worth staple stocks and bonds. It has the appear ance of a concerted effort to make a failure of the second liberty loan, to which they refuse to subscribe as they should, as a rebuke for conscripting wealth. This unpatriotic drive has resulted in mild rebukes from J. P. Morgan and other financiers and a pretence at concerted effort by the banks to sustain the lrm-k-c.

Mr. president, the senator from Wisconsin has characterized as dia bolical the acts of the executive de partment of this government in mak ing investigations of those who were fuipppctPd of being riisloypl to tho country. He has said that every pri vate right guaranteed to the citizen by the eon-itltntion Is being Invaded by tho agents of the government of the United States. Mr. president,, tho expenditure ot millions of dol lars by tho German government in tho United States, the hiring of countless agents, the placing thruout this land of numerous spies, has made neces sary activity upon tho part of tho de partment of justice and other agon Wisconsin impliedly says, then a balo of cotton would not ha- been worth as much a3 a bale of hay; the value causes, the fear and the loyalty of the American negro. He has vindlcited Ms rftbt tn tbo hlesslnrrs and bsnft- of every American product would ! f!t3 of our c--,-llza,lo. 'lie i3 stand- have sunk Into nothing; would have disappeared country. But, sir. It is not on the ground of ,,n0T, Germany could not induce commercial right, however sacred and plain this mav be, that the American peoplo went to war. Thoy went to war In part because it was the duty of this republic to protect our citi zens in tho enjoyment of their peace ful pursuits, not on the sea alone, but in their homes.

What would have followed If she had been siicces-fiil'ln that scheme I leave It to your imagination to portray. The failure of the attempt was not di!3 to Germany; it was duo to tho ncjro himself and his refusal to mako him self a party to such treason. (To Be Continued Tomorrow.) cies of this government in order to 'she sent into the United States spies hesitate to sacrifice the country's welfare upon the altar oi ineir greea. Practically every dollar spent for war, or loaned to the allies, goes o stimulate some American industry, to main tain the hieji prices ami iin-reased wages and profits, nnd perpetuate prosperity. There is no reason of anv kind. except the opportunity lor speculators' profits, in depress ing these securities. Intrinsically they are worth more than ever, because they are earning more. If the old financial system prevailed, "Wall Street might succeed in bringing on more than a brokers' panic. J-Jut, thanks to the federal reserve bank svstem, Wall Street no longer dictates to the country- or 'bandies its money. Eanks are authorized to loan upon what they consider a fair valuation basis on stock, regardless of their W.all street I'luet ual ions. The enimlrv has ouP'-rown Wall street. The liberty loan will be a success, despite- Wall Ml'cel s elloil to Manila-, 'in it, luvause the A inei-ie.-in iwn pic are back of it. and the American people are stronger ithi war was brought about by a wu- iinaneiaiiy ana more patriotic than tlic -,!, , ,.,. tli,. ttock market. If Wall Street should succeed in making the loan a fail ure it will result in drastic .on.-.eription ot wealth bv con gress to make up the dcfii-LeUf .v. protect our country and our people against the Iniqnltout schemes and devices of those German hirelings. It may bo true, Mr. president, that in some instances unnecessary in vestigations have been made; but I suspect that If the senator from Wis- consln would produce his evidence here, It would be found that thoso who made tho affidavits to which bo has referred in condemnation of his goverment are German sympathizers and some of them German spies, Peoplo Arc Loyal. T.et not the senator from Wiscon sin and others be deceived. The grent. majority of tbo American peo plo are loj-nl loyal to our flag, loyal to the men in the trenches and in the camps, loyal to the president of the United States lu every effort, to conduct thin war to a rurcessful termination; and neither slackers, traitors, nor spies can prevent the consummation of those efforts. The senator talks about the lib erties of tho citizen. The liberties nf the citizen nrn being Imperiled ts nnthlii!-. ebe eonld Imperil them in jth.li: conflict with Gormanv. The 'senator from Wisconsin dlrelosea jeitlier i'-nni alien or indifference :u itn (lie true facts when be says that to arouse and stimulate a spirit of sedition among the people of tho United States. Evidence of this is easily obtained. Millions upon mil lions of dollars were paid out to bribe men to betray their flag. For what purpose? To assist the kaiser to carry out his will tn America.
