| Europe should not be allowed to get
territory on this side "under any form
| or pretext" or by conquest, cession or ac
| quisition. "or in any other way.” It
that language did not cover every
way in which territory could be acquired
what words would have done so?
When John Quincy Adams added the
word “colonize" he simply supplied a
specification which had already been cov
ered by the general declaration.
Mr. Madison’s letter on the same sub
ject advises President Monros to agree
to the proposed British alliance for the
purpose of sustaining the South Ameri
can states In their Independence, but it
takes no such bold stand for the general
principles that Europe must hands off
the new world, as does the letter of
Mr. Jefferson.
In the presidential message December.
1823, President Monroe followed counsel
of Mr. Jefferson and proclaimed what Is
now known as the Monroe doctrine.
Under this celebrated new law In tho
International code, the South American
republics wore saved then, Mexico res
cued in the 60s and Venezuela saved from
dismemberment in 1895.
There has been so much debate con
cerning Mr. Jefferson’s financial views
that It may be proper to state them brief
ly. He was a bimetallist, believing In
the full, equal use of both gold and sil
ver.
In 1806 he ordered tho mint to cease
coining the silver dollar. The silver In this
coin being worth moro than a dollar,
measured by gold, exporters sent it
abroad to get the profit—hence as fast
as the sliver dollars left the mints they
became merchandise to bo shipped away
from the country. The law authorizing
the coinage was neither repealed nor
amended. The mint officers were simply
directed to use the silver bullion In tho
coining of other kinds of silver money,
to-wlt: half dollars, quarter dollars, dimes
and half dimes.
These smaller sliver coins, like the sil
ver dollar, continued to be full legal ten
der. The mint continued to coin them,
so that between tho years 1 792 and
1853 tho output was $77,000,000—n0t
counting 3-cent silver pieces.
In silver dollars only $18,000,000 were
coined from 1792 to 1873. Ten days be
fore closing the mint to the silver dollar
Mr. Jefferson had approved an act of con
gress which gave the legal tender quality
to all foreign gold and silver coins. Ihe
Spanish milled dollar was already a le
gal tender.
He not only had absolute confidence In
the government to create Us own paper
currency independent of banks, but he
contended that in no case had the paper
money of any of the colonies tailed to
keep on a par with gold and silver, when
such colonies provided, at the same time
the paper was issued, a tax to redeem It.
He gave us a reason why the continental
currency failed the want of power in
congress to provide for its redemption.
Another reason was that the continental
notes were not money; they were not
legal tender and they only gave to th'’
holder the right to go to the treasury and
swap paper for coin—ls th» coin was
there. As the coin never was there, tho
paper was only paper.
"Rag money’’ is tho favorite sneer ot
the academic historian, yet the very book
he writes is paid for with rag money,
whose virtue ami credit is based upon
another rag. The government’s bond is
a rag, the national banker’s note issued
on the bond Is a rag—but how glad the
academic historian is to get it!
Suppose the government should put the
banker aside, call In the bond and issue
the not< -- ■ putting ■h nd I th
same law and credit which upholds tile
bond and the banker's note; would the
note of the government be less valuable
than the note of the banker?
Mr. Jefferson thought not. So will
every other citizen who will consent to
use his own eyes, his own brain.
Another principle with Mr. Jefferson
was that legislature should encourage the
equitable distribution of wealth. Tho
growth of excessive fortunes should be
discouraged. Taxation should exempt all
below a certain limit, and upon the larger
properties the tax should be assessed ay
a geometrical ratio, the tax growing
heavier as the property grew larger. Leg
islators could not invent too many devices
for subdividing property and thus p.’’-
venting the misery winch flows from
enormous inequality.
A few months before he died he wrote
a strong letter to William B. Giles de
nouncing the tendency of tho general gov
ernment to usurp the reserved tights of
the states. Such a consolidation of pow
ers he viewed with extreme alarm. Tho
manner in which congress, by means of
tariff regulation, took money out of tho
pockets of the agriculturist and gave It
to the manufacturer h» considered a
shameful violation of the constitution
The construction which had been put
upon the “general welfare" claus? made
the remainder of the instrument blank
paper.
Should the Issue come between the two
evils—dissolution of the union or submis
sion to a government of unlimited powers,
there could be no hesitation In choosing
the former as the smaller of tho twoetils.
To this desperate counsel had the steady
increase the federal aggressions driven so
conservative a statesman!
Tho manner In which the agricultural
states were being systematically plunder
ed by the manufacturers under forms of
law were as apparent to him then as
they became to McDuffie, t.alboun and
Stephens when the cruel results of federal
favoritism had fully developed.
Many of Mr. Jefferson’s declarations
prior to 1825 can be quoted In favor of
moderate encouragement of infant indus
tries until such infants could get some of
the strength of life In them; but his
latest deliverance upon that subject was
In December. 1825. and was made in the
light of the tariff system as it then stood.
Realizing the trend of this legislation, It
was Mr. Jefferson’s final and deliberate
opinion Hint it would bo better ti| dis
solve the union than to submit to a gov
ernment which recognized no limits t.o its
powers and no restraints of justice or
shame In building up certain '’lasses and
sections at the expense of others.
Mr Jefferson believed that economy
was one of the greatest virtues of a re
public government and that a public debt
was ope of the greatest dangers to be
feared. He considered a navy needful
to our safety, byt condemned the idea
that we should have a navy as large as
those of the leading European nations.
Such a policy would “pull on our heads
that load of military expenses which makes
the European laborer go supperless to
bed." He never ceased to preach against
standing armies, and to insist that a w 11
organized militia was sufficient for every
national need.
He believed that home manufacturers
should be encouraged to the extent of
our own consumption of everything of
which we raise the raw material.
He believed In the income tax, progres-
THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION: ATLANTA, GA., MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1903.
I slvely increasing as the Income increased.
He believed that the earth belonged to
the living, not to the dead, and that each
generation should enjoy only the use of
the land. He denied that one generation
had the just right to bind succeeding
generations. It wjs on this principle
that he opposed entailed estates and de
nounced perpetual national debts.
Unfetter the law with the death of each
life owner; and "let each generation pay
its own debt as it goes.”
He. opposed tho appojntment of women
to office; and thought the whole world
would be gainer if commerce enjoyed
perfect freedom. He declared that we
should not meddle with European af
fairs nor allow Europe to intermeddle
, with affairs on this side.
“World-mission” bombast apparently
had not entered his poor, unprogressive
head.
The equal rights of man and tho happi
ness of every individual lie believed to be
the only legitimate objects of govern
ment. So far from being monomaniac on
the subject of gold or sliver as standards
of value, he declared that a fixed quantity
of wheat would be In most countries tho
best permanent standard of value.
“Foreign relations are the province of
the federal government, domestic regu
lations and institutions belong In every
state to itself.”
"Honesty is the first chapter of the
book of wisdom; to do what is right is
the one true rule of conduct.”
"Let ail the world pray to heaven that
at length there may be on earth peace
and good will toward men.”
A stateman who lived so long as Jef
ferson and wrote so much, expressing
opinions on so many topics would have
been more than human had he never
said a foolish thing nor ever Involved
himself in a contradiction. The men who
hunt with microscopes for fly specks on
pictures without ever being able to seo
the picture, do a thriving business pick
ing out the flaws and specks In Jefferson.
But after all Is said It come.* dowm to
this: His dissimulation was that to the
man of the world who knows better than
to jell tli£ men he wants to uec that
he hates them even when he does hate
them; his diplomacy was that of the
traveler who reaches the summit along
the line pf the least resistance, post
poning to the very last the open breach
which cannot be repaired; his Inconsist
ency was that of the practical leader who,
not being able to get what he knows to
be best, accepts a compromise rather than
get nothing. A theorist, he allowed the
force of circumstances to constrain him
to be silent when his convictions bade
him speak, to be quiescent when they
would have urged him to active opposi
tion.
In theory he was an absolute free
trader, but he led no crusade against the
federalist tariff.
He believed that the nation should sup
plement its gold and silver currency by
a national paper currency of its own
treasury notes bottomed on taxes; but
while he was president he made no efforts
to inaugurate his system. He stressed It
strongly in letters to his son in law,
Eppe. , who served long and prominently
in congress, but his system was only par
tiallj practiced. Jle detested the federal
Judici.ti'y and denounced the judges as
sappers and miners who were loosening
the foundations of democracy; but ho
did no: exert himselt to cure the disease
with any constitutional treatment, it ex
cited his profound indignation to see the
government abdicate in favor of national
banks the sovereign power to create
money, but when his friend. Madison,
was about to sign a bill to incorporate
the third great national bank we do not
find that Air. Jefferson protested.
Tho constitution did not authorize the
acquisition of foreign territory or a
system of internal improvements, yet he
bought Louisiana, tried to buy Florida
and spoke of spending the surplus reve-

The apostle of Jeffersonian Simplicity
who made his own fire, who would return

matter how poor and unpopular, he had
a fine houge. kept foreign wines, had
many servants, kept a French cook, or
dered a coat of arms from London, rode
in a four-horse carriage, spurted thor

horse back to be regroomed If the cam
bric handkerchief of the master, passed
over the hair of the horse, showed any
stains.
It amused the learned men of the
philosophical society when Vice President
Jefferson rode up to Philadelphia with a
bag of bones tied under his carriage,
which bones turned out to be the re
mains of a giant ant eater instead of the
mastodon as Jefferson had supposed.
Much laughter can be had over mistakes
like this, but It was merely .mother case

Classically educated, George Canning was
profoundly amazed to learn, after he had
grown to be a man that tadpoles shed
their tails and turned to frogs.
It may have been absurd for Mr. Jef
ferson to oppose such titles as Mister and
Esquire, but his doctrine of “Resist the
beginnings” was profoundly wise. His
earnest advice to Washington had much
to do with those changes in the constitu
tion of the Cincinnati which rendered
harmless what threatened to be the com
mencement of a hereditary military caste.
So precise that he himself must meas
ure garden beds with his ta.poline and set
down every penny of his personal ex
penses, he allowed a debt to shadow him
ti quarter of a century and was a bank

showed just such contradictions; and in
doing so gave evidence that the sage of
Monticello was human; only that, ami
nothing more.

THE) BOLL Wl’ll’lVlL IN TUNAS.
About ten years ago this pest made its
entrance into tho counties bordering Moxl-
■ co. Since then it has slowly but surely
' gone almost through the state.
! At first people laughed at the insignifi-
I cant doodle-shaped bug. People predicted
’ that the first freeze would put him into
' an everlasting sleep, but the freezes came
' and the weevil survived. He not only
I lived through the groat freeze of Fob
: r.tary, 1899. but ca.me out in the spring
I with appetite sharpened by his long fast
and made such rapid progress in 1900 that
'■ the serious side of his presence was felt,
j Thon it was that grave men who had
I faced tho caterpillars and boll worms VP
i fiinchingly began to get uneasy. They
i saw their rich old canoy bottom, which
i hnd never failed to fetch from a bam
! to two bales of cotton to the acre, come
I up with a half or a quarter. The farmers
out on the prairie said: "They are acorn
rt’eevils and will not hurt us on the
! prairie." But tho weevil showed ’em a
i trick or two that soon convince'’; them
: tbev were mistaken. Northward they
‘ crept until the blackest, most fertile po:-
| lion of Texas is thoroughly infested with
I them.
Last fall. 1902. T worked several months
I with a surveying corps in the richest
I part of Bell county. T traveled on foot a
I gr at den] of tho time across th- fields
• .T cotton. The summer rains in that sec
tion were fine. it. commenced rainmg
■ about the middle of July and continu'd
unt jj i a te in the fall. Immense crops of
forms wTf put on by the cotton, ♦ nough
to have made a. bale to the acre ease, .!
j it had not boon for tho weevil. As it
; was, notwitlislanding tlie late trust, hard
! ly a quarter of a bale per acre was
I gathered.
; ' This is a fact of personal observation.
■ The boll weevil is the biggest thing
: that th.’ Texas cotton planters ew r ran
jup against So serious lias it beconv,
that the legislature has ir.strueted t,i 1
I n,,v'’inor to offer a reward of $50,000 , or
I any conti’ivance that will successful!)
combat the pest.
Thu writer has taken considerable .n
--ten -'t in this subject during the last year.
I have watched I lie progress of the ect
tnn crop from planting to maturity. Ji
th> many inventions submitted to the
governor none have been practical or
"successful. ~ , . .
The cotton which has done the best. In
nearly every experience, has been cotton
Planted early in wide rows, thinned to a
stand earlv and plowed constantly.
Those who have followed this plan w>U
make average crops this year, while

i by” early won’t have much tn do tins
I ' The weevil Is spreading. He not only
...... g this la nd. but he w ill soon
reach over the Mississippi. It may be
i bv that time e,,;ne one will invent a means
I of successfully combatting him. But at

Wbib* it is too early nnd besides impo--
pi’i.l.. to come at. an exact amount of ihe

HOW TO DESTROY JOHNSON GRASS.
K. S. Meriwether, Lum. Al' 1 see so
milch in vour valuable paper in re-.’ard
to Johnson grass and how to get rid of
it I find It no trouble to get rid of and
think If vom’ many readers will follow
mv plan they can easily destroy It In one
or two years. First bed land with a two
horse plow, running from four to six
frriow-’ to the row. Be sure to plo»x
out middle deep ;.n ! clean; that will l
throw all roots of raid grass to top of ■
th” bed. Then robed by running two i
first furrows close together, and lied out. j
’11)011 plant by opening witli Buckeye :
straight sb”vel and cover with double ,
scooters. Then harrow behind ;l.inting. '
Thon put from two to three furrows with |
18 er 20-ineh solid sweep in middle of
rows. Then bar off, sweep up, and ploar
cut middles, and then plow and hoe reg
ularly until gathering time, and I think
f by so doing you can easily destroy said
t grass.
I will answer ill j.riva .’ letters in
> gard to destroying Johnson grass, as 1
have in cultivation this year 80 or ICO
, teres that has been in Johnson grass
for .'■even or eight y. • rs. and this. y>ar
have it in cotton, 2nd it is clear of all
grass.
(I) KNUCKLING OVER. (2) NITRATE

■I. H. K., Belva. Ark. I. J have a mule
that walks on tlie toe of one of his fore
- feet. I raised him and broke him to
i work. Never noticed anything wrong
> till we got. to working him. then noticed
, oni of his feet, would raise up behind
. ' when he would ’step tlie other foot for-
i ward. Been working about two years ami
"I he has got worse. Now he walks right
t i up on his toe. and on hard ground, or
t| going down hill his foot will pit' ll for
t| ward. The trouble seems to be in the
kle, or coffin joint. Neve> was I
I it as I know of. Would be glad of any I
information you may give

on waterweons. where nothing but stable
i manure, is used to fertilize with? Wo ;
1 don’t use any commercial fertilizer in this I
, country. How much should 1 use ami 1
what does It cost?
) Answer—l. This trouble is called knuck ,
ling, or knuckling over, and may be I
I caused from disease of tlie feet or over- j
work. Probably the colt had naturally ,
.| W’ :ik ankles, or was overworked. Give |
_l the mule rest and blister tlie ankle i
( joint !>y rubbing on it a little of a mix- j
, ture of 2 crams of cacti.arid ■ and I I
. ounce of lard. Lot it stay on 24 hours; |
I then wash off and grease with lard. Re- ,
! peat tho blister every second week for i
. . several months. Also give it a teaspoon- i
I ful of phosph ite of calcium each morning |
. , and a teaspoonful of pure copy ras every i
J . night; continue this for a month if nec- |
-. j 2. Nitrate of soda may he very advant- ■
t ageously applied to melons wlu’ri acid i
■ I phosphate and some form of potash are ,
. ' applied. But when stable manure is t>.’
s | sole application 1 do not think it would ■
I pay to use nitrate, because, in such case ,
| so large a quantity of tlie stable manure I
| will lie required to supply the needed ;
t phosphoric acid and potash that the nitro- j
, gen of tlie manure would be. rather more ’
' than tlie melons would assimilate.
