HALF CENTS WANTED.
Demand Is Springing Up for Smaller
Coins than Now Circulate.

Demand Is SpringinS Up for Smaller
Coins than Now Circulate.
The coinage of the half cent is BE-
ing demanded from numerous quar-
ters. In the early history of the coun-
try this coin did not seem to be need
ed. Business had not reached the de-
gree of division and specialization that
rendered it useful. In all new coun-
tries, where resources have to be de-
veloped, there is a disregard for detail
and of small things. AS civilization
progresses and population increases
the trading and every day business is
done on finer lines. Convenient small
coins for use in small transactions
conduce to economy and saving. In
California of the pioneer days there
were no coins less than a dime. All
transactions in which change could
not exactly be made, less than dime
caused loss to one side and gain to
the other. For long time California
affected to despise nickels, but the
advantage of making closer and juster
change gradually recommended itself
and now even the copper cent is gaining

ground in that state of great resourc-
es and large ideas. The demand fol
the half cent comes from those sec
tions of the country where the strug-
gle for existence is becoming more
difficult and where the subdivisions oil
business and competition in prices
cause the loss of even half a cent in
making change to be a serious matter.
There are many things sold for a cent
which would be sold for half cent
if such coin existed The dollars
would probably take care Of them
selves better if the half cent were in
existence to be taken care of than
they are now, when the cent is the
least coin that can be looked after. Ta
add the half cent to our coins would
increase the profits of small dealers
and the possible economies to that
class of people who are obliged to
make small purchases. AS it is now,
either the seller or purchaser in these
small dealings, which by their number
are of great Importance, loses or gains.
To save a cent each day amounts to
$3.65 year, and to save a half cent
each day effects a saving of one-hali
of the same. The country should have

PRESIDENTS GUARD.
MEANS OF PROT E CTI o NJ
AGAINST ASSASSiNS.
Although Mckinley Has No Fear. Secret
Service Men Are Constantly Watching
Over Him, at the White House and
On Trips.

While no one official in Washington
credits in the least the recent sensa-
tional story of a plot to assassinate
the president, it is just as well to call
attention to the fact that only by the
merest accident could any evil-minded
person or crank get close enough to the
chief magistrate to do him any harm;
and even if he succeeded in getting
within so feet of him, half dozen de-
tectives in plain clothes, who are al
ways at the presidents side, would in
all probability disarm the assassin Le-
fore he could succeed in accomplish
ing his purpose. The only feature of
the recent story which caused the
slightest worry to chref Wilkie of the
secret service bureau was that the al
legged plot contemplated Canton as the
scene of operations, Canton naturally

Chief of the secret service bureau
which guards the president.

Chief of the secret service bureau
which guards the president
offered less protection to the presl-
dent than Washington. In the white
house the president of the United
States is always perfectly safe, though
visitors have imagined there was no
police service whatever in force there.
Many persons have been heard to COM
ment upon the apparent lack of guards,
md have been loud in their praises
of republic where a chief magistrate
needed no one to protect him. This
general belief in its non-eXistence con-
stitutes probably the highest tribute
which could be paid to the guard sys-
TEN at the executive mansion.
While it is possible for any one Of
apparent responsibility and with some
shadow of an excuse to see the pres
ident, and while the public receptions
are open to every one, the guards at
the door know whom to keep out. As
sassins generally come from the lower
walks of life, and secret service men
have found that there is usually some
outward evidence of the evil designs
they harbor. At every public reception
given by the president nearly score
of persons are turned back at the
doors, simply on account of their per-
sonal appearance or actions. Most OF
these persons undoubtedly are mere
cranks, old soldiers, perhaps, who are
still trying to get a pension, or some
one who has vainly prosecuted claim
against the government and hopes to
reach the presidents ear. Scores OF
these cranks visit the white house
