Annual Address of President Loucks at Topeka 1894
President H L Loucks addresses the National Farmers Alliance in Topeka Kansas on February 6 1894. He argues that a money famine underlies the financial crash of 1893 and criticizes periodical panics caused by restricted money supply. He contends tariff policy did not cause the crisis and urges expansion of money and transportation to relieve economic distress. He discusses per capita money vs demand, and endorses selective railroad control and a Gulf and Interstate route. The address merges economic theory with political critique and policy proposals.
