E Pluribus UnuIn.

The motto az Pluribus Urum," mover
authorized by law to be plac ID on the
coin OF the United States, first appeared
on an American com in 1856. There
was no United States mint then, and, in
fact, no United States, the constit ution
for ming the Union not having rs yet
been adopted. There was a private
mint Mt NeSburgh, n. Y, md az
Pluribus Unum" was first placed Oh a
copper coin struck ut this mint, Few
collections have specimens Of this coin,
and it Is valuable. In 1887 a New York
goldsmith coined d piece OF money
which was known AZ @the eixtecn-dollar
gold piece and upon it the motto was
stamped in this form: "Unum f Pluri-
bus Only four OF these coins are
known to be III existence. They are
valued at moro than $4,000 each. Now
jersey issued various copper coins in
1887 with the motto stamped upon them.
A great many OF the early coins, before
there was any legal authority for
national coinage, wero made i'll England
Most OF these were copper and were
coined for different ~statcs, and all boro
the words az Pluribus Unum." Tho
United States mint wls estubli= he'd in
1i02, but the use OF the DatioUal motto
on my OF the goiu, silver or copper
coins was not authorized or directed 10y
any OF the provisions OF the act es,ub-
lishinR it. The motto remained on the
early gold and silver coins until 1884,
when 1t was omitted from the gold coins
In 1886 it WIS omitted from tic 35-cent
pieces, and III 1887 from all silver coins
1t was not stamped on any com again
until it appeared on the nickel and the
standard silver dollar. - Exchange.

The last strike proved to be one straw
too many for the patient camel known

labor and pay for it as it saw 6t, even
as labor has its right to do labor and
accept pay therefor.
The strong right military arm OF the
government was invoked to protect the
mine owners in the exercise Of their
rights and Tor a time it seemed as
though IA blow must be struck by the
mailed list OF UGcie Sam, but the hack
boue Of the strike has now been badly
bent, il not broken. Judge Hilton, the

practically adpits the error OF the
