Object Lesson in Tree Planting.

! The region Of the Landes, which,
fifty years ago, vas one OF the poorest
aud most miserable in France, has
now been made one OF the most pros:
porous, owing to the planting OF
pines. The increased value is esti,
mated at no less than 5000, 600, 600.
Where there were fifty years ago only
d few thousand poor and unhealthy
shepherds. whose tfocks pastnied on
the scanty herbage, there are now
sawmills, charcoal kilns and turpen,
time works. interspersed with thriving
villages and fertile agricultural lands.

| Don't you wool-hat, one-gallused boys

told you that Tom and the Populists
were heading for the Republican camp?
Don't you remember how hard they

And SO on with the socialists and
others.
But even this direct vote is not the
most important part of the initiative
and referendum idea. Inseparable
from it is the principle of proportional
representation, which would give all
parties representation in congress and
state In proportion to their strength.
This would give us government of the
whole people instead of a government
entirely by the victorious party. The
minority parties would be as fairly rep
resented as the majority party All
would have fair hearing, and thus ed
ucational work would be unimpeded.
The imperative mandate" another
inseparable adjunct of the iniative and
referendum, would enable the people to
control their representatives after cleo
tion under penalty of being called home
whenever they failed to carry out the
wishes of their constituents. 1t
wouldn't do the lobbyist any good to
bribe men who were liable to be called
home before they could carry out the
SNhchC tncy WcIc uiIcu W NOih.
In short, the initiative and referen-
dunn would make the people absolute
rulers.
No reformer needs to give up any of
his cherished ideas in order to indorse
the initiative and referendum,
1t would open the doors Of freer.
fuller and more unprejudiced discus
sion than ever before.
The people would feel their RESPONSE
bility, and instead of partisan whoopers
become students of principle.
No reformer fears an honest verdict
of the people. GEO. A. PUCKETT.

~ cents, while the pound of metal
cast 100 1-cent pieces. Thus, this
money contained 90 cents worth of in-
trinsic value and $1.40 worth of law
or fiat.
A 5-cent nickle coin was also made
OF 75 parts of copper and 25 parts
nickle. A pound of this metal costs
about 40. 1t will coin about 100 D.
cent pieces, which makes S.. Here
we have 20 cents worth of intrinsic
value and 81. 80 worth of law or fiat.
There is no end to the argument in
favor of the creation of money by law.
1t is the idea that the commercial value
OF the material out which money is
composed should regulate the purchas-
ing and debt-paying power of money
that is creating all the trouble under
which the country is now suffering.
The people should study these ques-
tions and refuse to be the dupes of
these money gamblers, whose soul.
conscience and moral being are covered
up and hedged about by greed. The
law makes money. There is no propo-
sition better established than is this
fact.
In conclusion note what a few of
the old fogy statesmen said in relation
to law made money:
Anything the government will re-
ceive in payment of public dues is
money, and good money, no matter
what its form may be. Henry Clay.
Treasury notes secured by pledges
OF the faith and credit of the govern
ment, with or without interest, will
make better currency than gold and
silver. Thomas Jefferson.
81 now undertake to affirm positive
ly and without the least fear that can
be answered, that a paper issue by the
government with the simple promise to
receive it for all dues would be as
steady and uniform as the metals them
selves. u. c. Calhoun.
James G. Blaine said in speech at
Skowhegan, Me-, in 1864, exhibiting a
greenback dollar: What is this? A
dollar. And it is a good dollar-good
for the farmer, the mechanic and
merchant and everybody. What
makes it a good a dollar? Because
every dollars worth of property in the
United States is behind it, and the life |
blood of every true citizen. And that
IS what makes it good dollar"
'Money is the sovereign authority
on that which is capable of |
taking and retaining an impression.
