It Is Fundamental That High Prices
Always Do Enhance Speculation
By Representative S. D. FESS. of Ohio
- _
—————— ■ - -- - -.— - - - - - ■
High prices always enhance speculation. When we
are on a high-priced level people seem to think they are
doing well. If a man is getting $6 today and has to
pay $6 for what $3 w'ould have purchased before the
f wa£ he makes himself believe that he is doing well, be
cause the $6 passed through his hands instead of $3.
This is fundamental that high prices always breed spec
ulation High prices just now, as everybody must
admit, are due to the conditions of the war, ?and they
naturally invite inflation the like of which we have
never seen in the world. The speculative spirit is not
here, but it is everywhere. The crisis following the Kevolutionary war was
induced by excesses that precipitated a speculative era. The same thing
occurred in 1819, 1837, 1857, 1873 and 1893. A crisis came to us in 1907.
All will admit that in the years preceding 1907 we never had a greater era
of industrial activity than at that time. The panic came at the very
moment when the people were talking about the great prosperity of the
country.
If ever there was a time whbn the world was wild with speculation, it
is this minute, right now. I say to you gentlemen, that instead of your
passing laws inviting speculation, enhancing the speculative spirit, we
ought to be passing laws to relieve the period of speculation. If we do not
get back to a sound business basis, where business is done on rational
grounds, this country will see, as surely as we are here, a crisis that will
come suddenly and swiftly.

Prices above quoted are all for No. 1 best grade furs. Lower grades, in

WE ARE THE LARGEST DEALERS IN RAW AND MANUFACTURED
FURS IN THE NORTHWEST, and all we ask of you, Mr. Shipper, is to grx»'
us the chance of a trial shipment and we will convince you that we pay more
for furs and make quicker returns than you can get anywhere in the country.
We have been in business in Alaska for 36 years and have built up a very
extensive trade. We sell manufactured furs in all parts of the United States,
Canada, and in a great many European cities.
By shipping to us you are not only helping an Alaska industry but you are
helping yourself to build up a business that belongs to Alaska.
We eliminate the middleman entirely, as we buy direct from the trapper and,,
trader and sell direct to the consumer; thus we are able to pay you a bettfef
price than you can get elsewhere. WE MAKE RETURNS THE SAME DAY
SHIPMENT IS RECEIVED.
If so desired, when your shipment amounts to $100 or more, we will wire our
bid, and if not entirely satisfactory you may wire at our expense and we wili
ship to any place you designate.
All we ask of you is to be fair with yourself as well as with us, and make us
a trial shipment; the result will make you a steady shipper.
