OLD AND NEW COINS.
Interesting Facts bOu Coinage at
the Different MINIS.

Interesting Pact. About Coinage ut
the Different Mlnts.
The director of the mint is called on
to answer such Il wide range of uues-
tons concerning the values of old and
new coins and medals that he has
found it necessary to issue circulars
covering matters of this sort. They
tell some interesting facts. 1t appears
that the mint does not buy old coins or
paper money except some rare colonial
coins in fine condition, which are de-
sired for the mint cabinet. Mutilated
or uncurrent United States gold and
silver coin is purchased rs bullion.
The mint has no pattern pieces for sale.
The government pays no premium for
the return of any Of its coins or pa
per money. New coins cannot be
struck until authorized by an act Of
congress. The mint supplies United
States coins only and not of any past
date. The fifty dollar goldpiece and
the half dollar and quarter dollar
pieces in gold were struck by private
parties on the California coast during
the 1910 period and not by the United
States government.
The coinage of the following coins
ceased in the years named: Half and
/ cent, copper, in 1851; 1 cent, nickel.
1864; half dime and 3.cents, silver, and
2 cents, bronze, in 1878; 20 cents, sill
yer, 1878; trade. dollars 1888; 81 and
49, gold. and cents, nickel, 1889.
The Columbian half dollar was coined
in 1892 and the Isabella quarter in
1893. The Lafayette dollar was struck
in 1899, the date on the coin $500 be
ing that:of the unwilling of the memo
rial. .
There are certain markings on every
United States coin that enable the
place, of it's: coinage to be located.
Those struck at the Philadelphia mint
have no mint mark. but those struck
at all other minis are distinguished by
q small letter on the reverse, ear the
bottom. These letters are G for Char
lotte, N. c.. discontinued in 1861: &C
for Carson City, New, discontinued in
1S93;-D for Dahlonega, GA, 'discontin-
ued in 1861; o for New Orleans and S
for San Francisco. The coins of the
United States now authorized by law
are: In gold, double eagle. eagle. half
eagle, quarter eagle; in silver, half dol
lar. quarter dollar and dime; minor. >
cent. nickel. and I cent. bronze. \ per-
son may buy Il proof set of gold coins
from the mint for $:'S.5O ana Il proof
set of silver and minor coins for S1.:iO.
When tho business of the minis is
slack medals may be struck from dies
furnished by individuals. public insti-
tutions and Incorporated societies ut a
charge sufficient to cover the cost OF
the operation and the value Of the
metal.--Brooklyn Eagle.

EARLY Tobacco.

According to John Aubery. who
wrote a celebrated work on "the very
queere Indian weede," there was a
time when tobacco was worth its
weight in silver. Among other things
Aubery says: "Sir Walter Raleigh was
the first that brought tobacco into Eng
land. and in our parts-North Willis
It. came in fashion through Sir Walter
Long. They used silver pipes, but the
commoners used a. walnut shell. 1t
was sold then for its weight in silver.
I.have heard sotne Of your old yeomen
'neighbors say that when they went TO-
Chippenham- to market they always
cuillled out their shillings to lay In the
scales against the tobacco. Now the

The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1904-11-07

Editor Advertiser: Let me THANK
you for the opportunity that you have
offered for some remarks regarding the
dirty to be exercised tomorrow by
every male citizen, namely, in the cast
ing of his ballot.
In but little more than two weeks
Governor Carter will have completed
The first year of his term as Governor
of Hawaii In his inaugural address
the Governor said:
81 shall aim to give this Territory
an administration frugal in public ex-
penditure.
Il intend to be scrupulousIy honest
in the payment of all Government
debts and obligations, thus preserving
our good faith and credit"
Economy was then demanded in
every branch of the Government, al
though at a time when business de-
preston existed. The Territory's
revenues should always be large
enough, not only to meet it's current
needs but also the principal and in
tarest of it's public debt. But a def
cheney was inevitable so long as the
expenditures of the Government ex-
ceeded it's receipts, and deficiency can
only be met by loans or by increased
revenue.
TAXATION OR ECONOMY.
In his inaugural, Governor Carter
had expressed the hope that he might
be able during his term of Office to
see taxation reduced throughout the.
Territory But he found that the stu
alton then. compelled either a reduction
in expenditures or an increase in tax
alton. The Governor chose the former
course, meeting with the strongest
possible opposition from many quar-
tiers, but being ably supported by the
entire Legislature. What has been the
result?
During the fiscal year ending June &c.
1904, the total salary expenditures for
Government employees throughout the
Territory amounted to $1,423, Gil. Dur
ing the current year similar expendi-
lures for salaries are at the rate of
1905, 4V5-oz, mus a saving Is DelnS elecl-
ed of $3.50, 217.1S within a year in this
direction alone.
A year ago the Government expense
bills averaged $500. s1.9S a month. Now
they are sss.27S.25. a saving of Sill
2o2.73 a month. Yor at the rate of $780,
1928 a year.
Adding these two totals there is
shown a net saving of 81, .649.94 in
Government expenditures during the
current fiscal period, as compared with
