OUR COIN MOTTO.

"ln God We Trust" Suggested by q
Maryland Farmer.
To an honest, God fearing farmer Of
the state of Maryland is due the mot
TO. "In God we trust" which appears
on the coinage of the United States.
In 1851. when Salmon r. Chase was
secretary OF the treasury, he wrote tc
him that as we claimed to be Chris.
tan people we should make some suita.
bic recognition of that fact on our
coinage.
The letter was referred to James
Pollock, director of the mint, who dis.
cussed the matter in his report for
1862. Congress was apathetic, and
Chase mentioned 1t to the lawmakers
again in 1868:
"The motto suggested, In God our
trust is taken from our national
hymn, The Star Spangled Banner
The sentiment is familiar to every citi.
zen of our country. 1t has thrilled
millions of American freemen. The
time is propitious; tits an hour of M
tional peril and danger, an hour when
mans strength is weakness, when OH
| strength and salvation must be OF
| God"
AS result two cent bronze piece
was authorized by congress to be coin
ed the following year, April %, 1864

New York, Nov. 11.-A steady
stream of gold now is flowing in from
Europe, but the greater part Of it Will
pass through New York to the banks
of the west and south, where it will

of the gold which has reached here,

1t is the opinion of bankers here that
the strain in this city is practically
over. Efforts are now being made to
relieve the stringency elsewhere, and
the greater part of the calls of small
