COINED By BRIGHAM YOUNG.

Five-Dollar Gold Pieces Which Are Now
Rarities-ToO Soft for Use.
County Commissioner Ballard, of San
Francisco, is the possessor of a rare and
curious gold coin which fell into his
hands in California in 1s49. 1t is q
Mormon fve-dollar piece, and for many
years has been employed as charm OF

owner himself was a '49er, and took
part in the early gold excitement :
California He told a New York Re
cor6er man that the MormonS, who
were among the earliest in the gold
fields, returned to Salt Lake with great
quantities of the precious yellow dust
Much gold also found its way TO u Utala
through other avenues. Brigham Young,
who was at that time running q little
government on his own account, estab-
lished mint and coined probably one
million dollars in fve-dollar gold pieces.
These coins very soon found their way
to California and passed current. AT
that carly date, Mr.. Ballard says, the
coins were welcomed as great
convenience in matters of exchange.
The metal in the coins was unal1oyed-
so soft and pure, in fact, that it wore
away very rapidly. On this account
they soon disappeared from circulation
almost as rapidly as they had appeared.

two clasped hands, probably symbolic
of brotherly love, while around the
margin are the letters, &c. S. L. c. p.

ifornia Pure Gold" Below the clasped
hands are the words, five dollars and
the date ''1S49.'' On the other side, in
the center of the coin is the alI-seeing

around the margin are these words,

Another time a thief got into his house
and took all the money from his pocket

which, at a glance, resembles a trunk
check. This was more than twenty wears
ago. Mr. Ballard then attached it to
his morocco fob chain, which is anchored
to an old-fashioned silver watch the
movement of which is also dated 1S49.

GOOD WORDS FOR THE CAUSE.
Senators and Representatives. in Favor
of BimetaIism.


WASHINGTON, May 4.-Senasors and
representatives who assisted in the
repeal of the Sherman act express them
selves in hearty sympathy with the bi-
metallic movement in England. sena-
tor Hill said: 81 joined in the dispatch
to the bimetalists in England because I
desired to encourage them in an earnest
effort to promote the cause of double
standard. The best thinkers and the
best writers, the best statesmen and the
best financiers, are gradually but surely
realizing the fact that single standard
of gold means the poverishment of
the people everywhere, and some made
guate relief from the present conditions
is essential. There are some indications
that English sentiment is now drifting
toward bimetalism. It is the duty of
this government to pursue course
which will hasten the day when bimetal-
lem will be an accom- plished fact. If the
present administration does not shape
its ruling in that direction, the people
will select one that will. Bimetalism by
international agreement, or independ-
emily if necessary, is to be the great issue
of the future"
Senator Allison said: "The confer
ence in London is significant as respects
the membership and the strong utter
ances favoring the full use of silver as
money. have faith the growing senti-
ment in favor of the full use of silver
will find expression at the election in
England, Scotland and Ireland when
dissolution takes place.
Senator Voorhees, and Representative
Bland also express hearty sympathy
with the movement.
