PRESIDENTS POLICY EXPLAINED.

PRESIDENTS POLICY EAPLAINED.
The speech of Senator Knox of Penn
sylvania, explaining President Roose-
velt's policy regarding railway rate reg
ulation and presenting legal arguments
in support of that policy, is a most inn
portant and valuable contribution to the
discussion Of the subject. The president
himself has stated very clearly his con-
tention that rates can and should be reg
ulated in cases of dispute by federal
authority; that somebody authorized by
congress should have the power to name
a maximum rate in case of absolute dis
agreement between transportation com
panies and shippers. AS attorney gem
eral of the United States Mr.. Knox
doubtless counselled with the president
respecting the position which the latter
announced in his last annual message
and the senator now buttresses this po-
sition with legal arguments which an
swer the criticisms that have been made
Mr.. Roosevelt will have no ADLER or
more earnest exponent and defender Of
his policy in congress than the Junior
senator from Pennsylvania.
Mr.. KnoX's legal argument must com
mend itself to all fair-minded persons as
wholly sound and logical. He declared
it to be the duty of congress to regulate
commerce so as to prevent injustice and
imposition by the carriers, and the
proposition to correct unreasonable rail
road rates and practices goes no further
than this; it is tantamOunt to the prOpo-
sition to correct injustice and imposi-
ton" The senator said that the rail
roads enjoy a complete remedy against
injustice. which it is not proposed to
take away, while the public has no eff
fective remedy against injustice. More
than such a remedy the public does not
ask. Less than such remedy it never
should have been without" He argued
that the administrative features of the
power inherent in congress to fix rea-
lawfully vested i'm the Interstate Com
mercc commission and this includes the
power To vest i'm the commission author
ity TO substitute a reasonable rate for
one found by ii to he unreasonable"
This is the really vital point i'm the issue,
it being the contention of the opponents
of government rate regulation that con-
gress cannot confer upon the commits
sion the power urged by the president.
Mr.. Knox is distinctly of the opinion
that this can be lawfully done.
He thought a short and simple law
would reach the root of the trouble.
This should provide that the tolls col
lccted by common carriers and the prac-
tees pursued by them should be just,
fair and reasonable, the power to deter
mine which would rest with the rail
roads and not TO be interfered with eX-
cept upon complaint and after full hear
ing before the Interstate Commerce
commission. If the complaint be we'll
founded the commission should declare
a fair and reasonable rate, its order to
take effect within such reasonable time
as II should prescribe and be final sub
ject only to attack for unlawfulness in
the federal courts, where IL would have
TO stand or fall upon its merits" Such
a law, as was said by Senator Knox,
would affect no railroad unless it is
guilty Of unreasonable and unjust prac-
| tees

ON OLD AND NEW COINS.
A Chapter Of Valuable Information
as to Dates, Values, Mark
ings, Etc.

The director of the mint Is called on
to answer such a wide range OF questions
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 in
teresting facts. says the Brooklyn Eagle.
1t appears that the mint does not buy
old coins or paper money, except some
rare colonial coins in fine condition,
which are desired for the mint cabinet.
Mutilated or uncurrent United States
gold and silver coin Is purchased as
bullion
The mint has no pattern pieces for
sale. The government pays no premium
for the return of any fits coins or paper
money. New coins cannot be struck un-
til authorized by an act OF congress.
The mint supplies United States coins
only and not of any past date.
The $50 gold piece and the half-dollar
and quarter-dolIar pieces in gold were
struck by private parties on the Cali
fornia coast during the '49 period, and
not by the United States government
The coinage of the following coins
ceased in the years named: Half and
one cent. copper, in 1857; one cent,
nickel. 1864; half dime and three cents,
silver, and two cents, bronze, in 1873;
20 cents. silver. 1873; trade dollars, 1888;
one dollar and three dollars, gold, and
three cents, nickel. 1889.
The Columbian half dollar was coined
in 1892, and the Isabella quarter in 1889
The Lafayette dollar was struck in 1899,
the date on the coin $4,000 being that OF
the unveiliDg Of the memorial.
There are certain markings on every
United States coin that enables the place
Of its coinage to be located. Those
struck at the Philadelphia mint have no
mint mark, but those struck at all other
mints are distinguished by a small letter
on the reverse, near the bottom
These letters are c for Charlotte, n
C.. discontinued in 1861; &C for Carson
City. New, discontinued in 1893; D for
Dahlonega, Ca. discontinued in 1866; 0
for New Orleans and for San Fran

authorized by law are: In gold. double
eagle, eagle, half eagle, quarter eagle;
in silver. half dollar, quarter dollar and
dime; minor. ive-cent. nickel and one
cent bronze.
When the business OF the mints is
slack, medals may be struck from dies
furnished by individuals, public institu-
tions and incorporated societies. at a
charge sufficient to cover the cost OF the
operation and the value of the metal.
