The railroad wended its way through
n beautiful rolling country studded
with pines and cedars. Tho wild flow.
crs grew up to the very tracks, and
the oarth seemed carpeted with soft.
velvety moss. Through the pines I
caught glimpses occasionally of state
ly old residences, with their gardens
unkempt nnd the woods growing in
wild profusion. Where tho fences had
fallen they had been left to decay, but
Ihe Gelds were plowed and showed
signs of cultivation at a cost of great
labor.
vo stopped at several stations, and
around each there was an air of happy
lnuoicnco that lent a charm to tho dl
lapidated wooden sheds which stood
lor depots, and in front of theeo there
was always to be seen enmo anrlnunt
Cd wagon or carryall. Tbeso latter
were Invariably filled with half grown
boys and girls laughing and chattering

or tno mint
Senator Oliver was tho first to voice
opposition to the now coins with n me
morial from tho chamber of commerce
of York, I'a., protesting to the senate.
The American Street Hallway nsso
elation and various street car lines of
New Tork also havo cotnmunlented
with tho finance coninilttoo deploring
any such additions to tho minor coins.
Tho argument of tho street car com
panics is that while Ohio cities might
1k convcnlonced, every other city In
tho country would bear tho burden, for
patrons would pay faro In ono-half
cent pieces or two threo-cont pieces,
compelling tho conductors to carry
loads of chnnge.
Thinks Churchss Would Suffer.
One individual who took a lighter
vein sent a protest to tho committee
ostensibly In bchnlf of the churches,
arguing thnt contributors would drop
n one-half cent or throe cont pleco in
tho box in lieu of tha customary nickel
or dime.
Tho proposed three cent plcc Is one-thirty-second
of nn Inch larger than
the prosed nickel, o thnt after being
handled nnd worn slightly it would
work havoc with the receipts of vend
ing machines or telcphouo companies
which operate nickel slot devices.
"We will proceed deliberately and
not recommend any such Important

without giving everybody an oppor

Penrose, chairman of tho flnnnco com

Members of tho United Btatea eon
nto nnanco committee would llko to
havo the rlewa of IndlTidnals, organ
Izations and business Interests on tho
proposed threo cent and ono-half cent
pieces. So far the proposal to add
such coins to Uie denominations now
in circulation has not caused the In
terest which was anticipated. Every
citizen, no matter how limited bin ro
sources, would bo affected, and mo mo
lines of Industry would bo compelled
to readjust their methods of business

l.v Fitting on Uie bill. WhoUicr It ovci
win omergo from that committee is
problematical. However, tho senators
would like to know whether tho coun
try does or docs not want tho coins,
for on some meeting day they may do-
slro to act.
Tho bill was passed by tho booso
May 0, where It went through unob
trusively. Some of tho senators op
jiii-iii-uucu utai mo proposition was
serious when It came before them tho
following day. Senator Pomcrcno of
Ohio wanted It to go to tho committee
on standard weights and measures,
which naa received a similar bill In
troduced by him April but Sena
tors Smoot nnd Lodge Insisted that it
go to the financo committee, and the
f-enato on n vote refused to agreo to
tho Ohio senator's motion.
Idea Originates In Ohio.
So far tho proposal to change tho
national coinage has been almost ex
clusively an Ohio undertaking. It
originated In Cleveland, where they
havo n threo cent car fare, nnd Con
gressman Bulkley of that city intro
duced a bill to create a coin for that
particular need. Toledo also cams
into lino In support of tho scheme.
Then some ono revived the Idea of tho
one-half cent piece, which comes up at
regular periods, and It was tacked to
tho bill.
llcforo this tho treasury department
had suggested abolishing for sanitary
purposes the present copper cents,
which corrodo nnd affect employees
who handle them In largo quantities.
The Intention is to mako them of tho
samo composition, 75 per cont copper
and 25 per cent nickel, ns tho present
5 cent piece. To tho bill making this
comparatively slight chango in tho one
cent pleco was added tho propoeal to
creato tho two now coins.
Secretary of tho Treasury MacVeagli
did not oppose tho new coins, nor did
ho approve them. Tho protests did
not start to como in until after tho bill
bad passed and tho treasury ofllclalu
took tho nttltudo that congress, not
tbey, should determine tho coinage re
gardless of their opinions whether it
was unwieldy, Duinmlea of tho coin,
