FRACTIONAL CURRENCY
STILL OUTSTANDING
Small Sums Reach Treasury
Now and Then.
MUCH HAS BEEN DESTROYED
Issue Was Authorized in Civil War
Because of Scarcity of
Small Coins.

assumptions by the Treasury Of frac-
uonal currency are growing less and
less in amount as the years go by.
NeVertheless small sums in this cur
rency are brought IN frequently to be
redeemed One might imagine that the
supply of this form of money. which
dates back to the days Of the civil war.
and the issue of which ceased in Feb
ruarv 1876, was practically exhausted.
The books of the Treasurer. however.
show that at the end of the last fiscal
year there was S15,2i7.17S in fractional
currency outstanding The total amount
redeemed in the year was S2,0S3 in all
denominations.
In reality. the amount actually out
standing is far less than the records in
dicate- Much of the fractional cur
rency has been lost and destroyed in
various ways. Mice and rats have de-
voured it, and not little OF it has been
burned. Back in war times the troops
carried great deal of IT. and in this
way much was lost. Hence the amount
on the accounts as outstanding is far
iT excess of what is actually in ex-
istence.
Civil War Measure.
The issue of acronal currency was
a civil war measure, enacted because
OF the scarcity of coins OF small de-
nominations. 1t was never a legal ten
der. but was receivable for postage and
revenue stamps and also in payment OF
any dues to the United States less than
s., except duties on imports.
The first measure of Congress that
authorized its issue was passed July IL,
1862. This measure authorized payments
in postage stamps March 3, 1853, the
Secretary Of the Treasury was empow-
cred IN lieu of postage stamps and reve-
nue. stamps to issue fractional notes.
The denominations issued were ,, 3, 10,
Is. .. and 5O-cent pieces. A surprisingly
large amount was issued, the total be-
ing s3sS, 724.O79 Some Of each of these
denominations are still outstanding.
Last year 81 worth of the Scent notes
were redeemed and, according to the ac-
counts, over $4,000 Of them are still out.
Carried as Cash.
In the daily Treasury statement. under
the head of general fund. appears a
small item showing the amount of frac-
tional currency carried along as cash.
This represents fractional currency that
comes into the Treasury. and IS carried
as cash for a time. but is ultimately de-
stroyed.
Oddly enough, counterfeiters frequent
~ endeavor to make spurious fractional
currency. Specimens are detected from
time to time. In the last fiscal year
$2S1 worth of counterfeit fractional cur
rency was discovered.

Another act in the drama OF world

now the question absorbing every

Conflict of Nations.
Cause for apprehension that the DOW

indication points to China mixing up in
the fray. Latest reports announce that
the Emperor of China has given secret
instructions to 45 600 of his troops to be
ready to assist Japan
The Chinese minister here does not
feel authorized to define the attitude of
his country toward Japan in case Of

only from the throne at Pekin, and Sir

His Present Plan.

When asked as to how his present plan
differed from his former one. he said:
I'm my old evangelistic meetings all
the churches united to act temporarily
as one church. and I was for the time
the preacher. Now. do not ask such
union. but seek only the opportunity TO
speak my message Personally ] am
Indifferent whether 1 do this inside or
outside of the churches. but for the
church's sake am glad to speak in any
sort of a church where 1 am invited
On the other hand. can reach many
persons who are eager to respond to my
mission who rarely, il ever. attend
church, far better by speaking in thea
tiers and public halls
Religion, not theory: principles. not
dogmas; deeds, not creeds; the religion
of Jesus rather than speculations about
him; the sermon on the mount as a
practical rule of life, unselfshness as an
ideal philosophy and gospel and expe-
rience; this is what 1 preach II other
men say this is not enough. and preach
more as essential. they have my good
wishes. Let US go together as far as
we can"
