THE DOLLAR SIGN
The Theory OF Dr. Marcus Baker a.
TO Its Origin
Chicago Record.)


Several weeks go DR.. Marcus Baker,
Of Washington, published in one of
his magazines an account OF the origin
Of the familiar dollar sign. This has
long been in dispute, says the New
York Post. All sorts of explanations
have been given, the most common Of
which is that the initials Of the United
States are crossed. But there have
been seven or eight other theorie- to
account for the dollar sign which are
about as good. DR.. Baker, in his re-
searches in the library of the bureau Of
education, came across an old book en-
titled "A Compendium of Federal
Arithmetic, Designed for the Use of
Schools, aad Especially Calculated for
the Meridian of the United States"
which was published at L~ansingburg,
n. Y, in 1897. Its author was the
Rev. Chauncey Lee of Rutland, VT,
In this book was set forth a system of
sOcaled characteristics by which one
vertical stroke was to designate the
mill, two vertical strokes the cent,
these two crossed by one curved stroke
the dime; and for the dollar sign con
sisting of two verticals combined with
two curved strokes now so familiar,
was proposed. At that time the people
Of the country were just emerging from
| the use of pounds, shillings and pence,
each separated in writing by a space
| from the next denomination 1t seemed
| necessary to Mr.. Lee to have an arbi-
trary mark for each Of the denomina-
tions Of our monetary system. But he
soon found that one character, with the
aid of a decimal point, was all that
was necessary, and in the latter part OF
his own book all of the elaborate sys-
TENS of symbols except the one in
tended to mark the dollar was found to
have been dropped.
DR.. Baker certainly finds the dollar
sign in this old arithmetic, and does
not find it in use at any earlier date.
By the time Adams arithmetic was
published, in 1906, the symbol had be-
come we'll established. DR.. Baker,
therefore, regards Mr.. Lee as the in
| ventor, and believes the sign to have
been absolutely arbitrary in it's origin.
Since the publication of his paper in
one of the magazines DR.. Baker has re-
ceived many letters on the subject, but
none in which his conclusions are chal-
lenged. He intends, for further verifi-
cation, to make a study of the depart
mental records to see when the dollar
sign first appeared in the treasury ac-
counts. He also hopes to make a more
| thorough search of the old text books
to see if by chance any use of this
sign prior to that of the Rev. Chauncey
Lee can be discovered. Perhaps some
of the descendants Of Mr.. Lee will be
able to find the authors manuscript
in which case additional light might
be thrown upon the subject. 1t is Ger,
tainly interesting to know the origin
Of athing in so constant use as the dol
lar sign DR.. Bakers discoveries seen
likely to take all the sentiment out oil
the matter, but this is the common re-
suit of modern historical research.
