The final vote came after fie hours

banking committed leading the op
position. He characterised ! as class
legislation whiuh would lead to infla

d luded the farmers into believing It
" ould help them.
The farmers have been deceived,'
h- said "They have been told
resolution will help them, No advance

control of any one else. I ie &aid that'
" the chief cause of the decline in prices j
was the cessation of huge buying by
governments at war on - oi any,
prices the sellers might ask, the re
sumption of a certain amount of In
dustry In Europe which i impetet with
American goods, and the resumption
of shipping which had been Inti pi
ed during the wai and I'hich now
brings goods from Australia and Argen
tina into the market in competition
with American goods. The se retoryj
1 of treasury took the position that these
are the causes of the decline ol price
and nothing that the treasurj can do
will overcome those causes.
