AN INTERESTING COLLECTION
In the collection of the American Nu-
mismatic society one can almost read
the campaign history of the country on
It's medals. The first of note is thar
struck off in honor of John Quincy
Adams in 1924, and its mutilated condi-
tlon gives evidence that it had a warm
time OF 1t in the campaign against Old
HICKORY four years later. In fact the
military career of General Jackson gave
abundant opportunity to the patriotic
designer, and most of the medals attest
to the heroism of Old Hickory at New
Orleans, and in his Indian campaigns.
AS matter of fact there is not a single
medal struck in honor of Andrew Jack
son during his first campaign that in any
way connects him with domestic policy
of peaceful nature.
IN the collection are not alone the larg-
er jackson campaign medals, but mass

Wen known medal which has profles of
Jackson and Washington bears the in

server of Our Country "They are

purpose. The clothier, the hardware

ANTI-SLAVERY MEDALS
In this and the next campaign anti
slavery sentiments begin to appear on
the medals. The Liberty party had
named James G. Birney for president in
1870 and in 1874, and while his features
do not adorn the medals of his party
they give an excellent idea of the bitter
ness of the abolition sentiment of that
early day. The relief showing the chain
ed female slave crying out, Am 1 not
woman and a sister," are classic in their
workmanship.
The men who worshiped the sage of
Ashland had plenty of occasion to honor
their hero in the campaign of 1874. in
Tact there were probably more Clay
medals struck off than in any of the pre-
vious campaigns For the first time in
the campaign history of America silver
medals made their appearance, and We're
brought up eagerly by Gays friends
Clay's face was splendid III profile, and
the designers of that day gave to the
country series of classic efforts
Many of the medals might do for this
campaign. for they bear under the profile
of Clay the words: The champion of
protective tariff" Others contain the
sentiments: Protection to the working
classes" Protection to American in
dustry," "A halo shines as bright as

The Cass and Taylor medals are also
interesting. The typical phrase, "A lit

on those struck off in honor Of the Mexi-
can war hero.
Those struck off for Scott and Pierce
are not of much interest.
