Tom 1aggayt S Appeal.

Under the gallant leadership of Thomas
Taggart, the dear old Democratic Party
is taking the preparatory steps to fool the
folks, once more.
The fact that such black-leg as Tag
CART is kept in place as national Chairman,
proves that, nationally, the dear old Dem
ocratic Party is just the same as ever
the off-horse Of the Wall street span. The
other horse is, of course, the Republican
Party. The two pull the cart of Special
Privilege, in which Wall street rides.
Taggart runs an establishment at
French Lick Springs, Indana, where the
fashionables drink, frolic and gamble
just as they do at Monte Carlo, the fam
Gus gambling place of Italy.
In 1906, the police raided Toms estab-
lishment at French Lick, and captured
gambling paraphernalia of all sorts. Tom
had pull, however, and did not go to
the penitentiary. The thing blew over,
as such things usually do under the in
fuence of the pull.
1t is this man of the gambling hell
which is not the less hell because none
but the fashionable can enter therein
who is now issuing an address to the Ma
tional Democratic Party.

dents given above. Andrew Jackson, who
alone, among those mentioned, was man Of
fiery temper, was Of Irish parents, who had
emigrated to this eoutry hardly year be-
fore he was born.
The Northern idea about "hot Southern
blood came of the "fre eaters' Of the seces-
sion era. Toombs, Iverson, Rhett, Yancey,
Wigfall and others did great deal Of impas-
stoned talking and Preston Brooks made
personal assault on Charles Sumner It was
the times and conditions that produced these
displays Of temper rather than anything like
racial temperament. The South then was
at bay in defense Of the "peeuliar institu-
ton" which inheritance had thrust upon It.
1t smarted under the threats and insults and
misrepresentation Of the Northern abolition
lists. 1t believed, not without reason, that its
safety was imperiled by the fanaticism Of
men like John Brown of Osawatomie. This
produced the hot blood exhibited in those
times. It was time Of fierce resentment and
the South was spirited enough to respond with
fervor to the provocative prodding to which
she was subjected.

Tom Taggart not only wants purity,

The Farmers Union.

In the February number of the Jefferso-
MAN Magazine, there will be leading
article on this great order-the first mag
azine article devoted to it.
1t includes biographical sketch of
Newt Gresham, the founder of the organi-
cation, written by his daughter, Miss
Lutte Gresham.
1t also contains an account of the early
struggles of the order, written by R. F.
Duckworth, President of the Georgia
Union.
The article contains preliminary arti-
Gle written by Mr.. Watson, in which he
strives to make it plain that the agricul-
tural classes must adopt clear, compre-
hensive policy, as to national legislation,
if it ever accomplishes what it set out to
do-namely, to get square deal for the
farmers.

THE JEFFERsONIAN.

ey, the kings of finance have been enabled
to rule every nation on the globe.
The Jefersonian urged the Administra-
ton to issue Greenbacks, because such a
step would at once release the country
from the renorseless grip of those Wall
street rascals who brought this panic on
us.

THE WASHINGTON POST AND
GREENBACKS.


contracted to the comparatively modest
Internal Revenue taxes.
The Post reminds us that a gold GER
tihcate is not legal tender yet passes at
par because the holder can exchange it
for gold dollar. But the gold dollar
is legal tender, and it's legal representa-
tive, is as good as itself If certificates
were issued against full legal tender pa
per dollars, the results would be precisely
the same.
The Post reminds us of all the paper
money that ever failed without entering
into the causes for such failure. AS long
as our Government stands, two cent
postage stamp will be worth two cents,
but if the Government went the way of
the Confederate States what would it's
stamp be worth?
It sounds convincing to tell of the time
when pair of boots cost $3.50 in Confed-
crate money; but what will you do with
a situation such as that which Prescott
describes as having existed in Peru, when
horse cost $2o,I75 and quire of paper
$40 in gold?
According to Prescott, 500 in gold was
the price of bottle of wine; and pair
of shoes cost $3.50.
The Post declares that, if the Jefferso-
MAN is right, weak nation can create
money as we'll as a strong one. Of course
it could. A weak nation has as much right
to existence and to the exercise of gov
ernmental functions as strong one. The
creation of money is a governmental func-
ton. Silver and gold are not money until
the Government says SO, by law.
The fiat paper money of weak nation
would be absolutely good for all domestic
commerce. AS to foreign commerce, that
is matter where the actual money rarely
appears. Trade balances are adjusted by
bills of Exchange and similar commercial
devices.
The fundamental error of the Post con-
slsts in assuming that a dollar is not a
measure of value in exchange.
Money was intended to represent value,
as yardstick represents measure. There
is no more sense in saying that the repre-
sentative Of value shall be itself the equal
in value of the thing represented than to
say that the yardstick shall, itself, be the
equal in value of the stuff which it meas
ureS.
The Greenback was not an ideal curren-
cy, because it was promise to pay. The
so-called redemption of the Greenback, by
exchanging another sort Of money for it,
was wrong. The swapping of dollars, the
one kind for the other, is not redemption
The true theory is that dollar answers
the purpose for which it was created

LET'S PLANT SOME TREES.

n FEW weeks more and spring will again be with us,
and is high time to be placing orders for fruit
trees shade trees and the other trees and shrubs used
practical and ornamental growing upon city lots and else
where. f<M4.
Every owner of residence lot in Whteish should be
figuring how to beaufy his place in the spring, not
only because desirable for the welfare of the town
whole but because it is to his individual interest to do
$50.
In Whiteish and vicinity are fortunate in having
soil and climate admirably adapted for fruit raising
and property should take advantage of this fact
by planting fruit bearing trees and shrubs. It not
only improves the appearance Of the property but will
amply repay the owner for the trouble through the pro-
ducton of fruit It will enhance the value of your hold
ings and make your home more desirable place in
which to live. ~t
Not only should residents of this town be active in
planting trees but the should apply to the ranch
owners in this vicinity in greater measure Several
goodszed commercial orchards should be planted near
here this coming spring, business proposition that is
to pay good returns This work should go every
spring for several years to come, fast the land is
cleared for there doubt that this part of the great
Fathead valley is well adapted to oschardng and that
the investment would be good one.
In the work of identifying city lots, of course
must also bear in mind the value of lawn Nothing adds
more to the appearance of place than lawn well kept
but it is rather early to talk of this feature of identifying
the town. The thing necessary to do at this time is to
make arrangements to have trees and shrubs hand
when the time comes in the spring to them. Last
year when the soft spring weather started and you went
into your yard to Dig you probably bewaed lack
of foresight in not having trees hand to set out
! Don't let it occur this year. Order now.

Whi,e6sh is sending about 5000. 90
a month to the Kalispell steam laund-
lies, and in addition to this the
laundry work along the main line from
Cut Bank to Troy is sent to kalispell.
All this trade naturally belongs to
Whi,e6sh, and can be secured by the
right party who will put in a well
equipped plant and run it on strictly
business pSincil les. With a popula,
ton cyowding close to 1000 people,
mostly railroad and lumbermen, a.
large percentage Of whom are single
men and roomers, the local trade alone
ought to support frsa-class laundry,
to say nothing about $50 miles of the
main line of the Great Northern rail-
way to draw from.
