CHANGES IN OUR COINS.

SEVERAL DENOMINATIONS TO BE DIsCoNTIN-
 JED. IMPROVING THE DESIGNS.
 From the Springfield Daily Republican,
 Secretary Windom will probably rec commend again to Congress in his forth coming report, that the coinage of the three-cent pieces, gold dollars and three-dollar gold pieces be discontin- ued. The director of the mint recom- mended these changes in his last annual report. but Congress was too busy to act upon his recommendation. The de- partment has felt justified, under it's discretionary power, in limiting the issue of these coins to small amount, but it has not felt justified in suspend ing the issue altogether. They are con- fusing and undesirable for circulation, but the gold dollars are much sought for personal adornment. The depart ment has coined from month to month enough of each coin to supply cabinets and keep up proof sets. It has also been thought that, so long as the pieces were coined. the department ought not to encourage speculation and unduly enhance their value by keeping the coinage too small. If it were once for bidden by law it would be suspended altogether, and the machinery could be put to better use. The department is not disposed to encourage the use of the gold dollars for ornament and simi- lar purposes because of the mutilation incidental to such use. Large ship ments of these coins have been made for many years to China and Japan for manufacture into necklaces, bracelets and other similar articles.
 It is likely that the proposition

several times made to Congress to authorize changes in the designs of the coins will be renewed at the coming session. Although the motto, "In God we trust, was added in 1866 to the legends of several coins, no material change has been made for years. The present design of the double eagle was adopted in 1949; of the eagle 1888; of the half eagle, 1889 of the three-dollar piece, 1854 of the quarter-eag 184O ]; of the gold dollar, 1854 of the silver dollar, 1878; of the half-dollar, quarter dollar and dime, 1888. The coinage act of 1873 authorized the director of the mint to prepare the devices for new coins, but the only new coin authorized has been the silver dollar, so that practically all the coins are made from very old designs.
 There is some argument for keeping the designs of our coins fixed and un- changing, but those who have given special attention to the subject believe that the time has come to make some improvements. The director of the mint, in discussing the matter in his last report, called attention to the historical value of foreign coins because they were changed at the will of the sovereign and usually bear his image. The director says : The designs impress ed upon the coins of any nation, ancient or modern, are accepted as an expression of the art of their time. But few citi- zens, who, with an artistic sense, have carefully scrutinized the current coins of this republic, would consent to accept as standard of excellence for their own day and generation almost any of the present compositions of statutory devices. The inferiority of our coinage to the same kind of work by almost every other advanced nation of the earth, as we'll as to the well-known work of numerous able designers at home, seems to be perceived by all who have given attention to the subject, and to be keenly felt by many as unworthy the development which the arts of sculpture and design have here attained.

FREE SHIPS.

In 1880, 1881, there was craze
in Great Britain far shipbuildIng.
There was mo 10 nue. on the
ocean than could be proftably EN-
ployed. All ships were tending to
depreciation in value. Many ships
were laid up in European ports
wasting with rust. An Anglo-Amer-
lean lobby b-leagnered Congress
for free ships. The clauses in the
American navigation laws which
prevent ships built by foreigners
from sailing under the American
flag or ships owned Ivy forlengners
from sailing between two American
ports are still intact. English ship
builders would be pleased TO build
our ships as well as English ship
owners to do our coastlng trade Tor
us. From 1881 1886 the carrying
trade Oh the ocean was done at less
than cost, entailing heavy losses on
sbip.owners, in addition to large
depreciation in the value OF their
snips. The wreckage, too, was SO
prodigious that Parliament spent
months in an inquiry to find out
wbether most of the wreckage was
not facilitated by discreet negllg-
ence in order to convert the shlps
into claims on the insurance com

DlNSMOREl


One Of the growing towns of the
South, is situated on both sides of
savan ah, Florida & Western
Railroad, just twelve miles from
Jacksonville, Fla. 1t is high, dry
and level, and successful horti.
cultural and truck-growing section
of the State. Dinsmore can be
easily reached from Jacksonville by
railroad, by water route, or by an
hour and a half drive over an excel
lent plank and shell road.
Dinsmore is not one of the isola.
ted spots that is only laid out on
paper, but a thriving prosperous
town that recommends itself to
capitalist and laborer, to fathers
and wives who are vigilant over
their own interests and the welfare
of their children, to those who are
seeking homes and those who have
capital to invest for speculation.
The land can be obtained at re-
markably low figures and on terms
suitable to the condition of every
purchaser. At the present . low
figures poor man can make regu-
lar payments on a valuable home
with less than the aggregate of
unnecessary expense or money act
ually thrown away. Ii is an in
vestment that one cannot regret
and through which you will realize
many times the amount invested.
The prices are for Front Business
Lots one acre, $65, $50, $35. Sec
ond choice, $25 $18. Third choice
SIS. Fourth choice $40. Fifth
choice, SIS. 1t must be remember
ed that these are acre lots.
We also have vegetable and
truck farms laid out adjacent to
Dinsmore, containing from five to
sixteen acres each, which We offer
for the benefit of those who wish to
farm at SIS acre.
Our terms are one fourth cash
and balance in one, two and three
years.
The chain of title will be short
and strong. It is from the State of
Florida to the Railroad and from
the Railroad to you.
sTruck farming around Dinsmore
would be at the door of two of the
greatest markets in the South. Let
every poor man if with but one
dollar, commence to buy a lot in
Dinsmore. The fare from Jackson.
vile and return is only tweGttyy-nve
cents. Think vf Ct it. There are
elghht5 passenger trains pc" day and
the round trip will only cost TWEEN
ty.five cents. Trout creek, large
streams passes right through the
vicinity, thus affording pure fresh
water for stock, perfect drainage
and abundance of fish.
TAKE WARNING NOW, and
do not let this grand opportunity
slip you. 1t is the very best chance
you will have to secure a good
piece of valuable property and such
startling prices.
The merchants in Dinsmore are
enjoying a good trade and the
town is rapidly growing. Saw
mills are convenient for securing
timber to build, and laborers who
desire work can get from a dollar
and half to two dollars per day.

Tanning Leather by Electricity.

A Swedish inventor has applied the
cial problem 80 successfully that its use
bids fair to revolutionize the tanning in
dustry both in this country and abroad.
The process has been in successful opera
ton in Sweden for eighteen months, and
an experimental plant has been estab-
lished here TO demonstrate its value, as
the owners Of the patent in this country
are determined to verify all claimed for
the process before its actual introduction.
Patents are held in seventeen different
countries. By the process it is claimed
that sole leather can be tanned in 800
hours by the application Of an alternating
current for one-eighth of the time, the
old methods requiring six months.
