an GOD WE TRUST"
Origin Of Motto on Our Coins Which
the President Has Discarded.

euV I0otN0uS tV08 0ISVdF00O,
Widespread discussion has been ac-
casioned by the omission of the motto
I'm God We Trust" from the new gold
coins now issued by the government.
The reasons assigned by President
Roosevelt have not been acquiesced in
as a general rule by those taking part
in the discussion, though the president
has many defenders.
1t is said that there is no differ
ence of opinion between President
Roosevelt and Augustus st. Gaudens
on the subject of leaving the words
I'm God We Trust off the new coins,
The sculptor not only wanted to leave
off I'm God We Trust, but "E Pluri-
bus Unum' also, but the president
wouldn't stand for that.
st. Gaudens was opposed to any let
tering whatever on the coins, and he
had some warm debates with the presi-
denton the subject. He endeavored to
make the figures on the coins take up
so much room that none would be left
for any lettering, and it was only with
the utmost reluctance that he finally
yielded to the presidents insistence on
"E Pluribus Unum AS it is. the
Indian head-dress on the figure ex-
tends so near the edge of the coin that
"E Pluribus Unum" has hardly room
to breathe, jammed up as it is in a
corner. This, however, is not due
solely to the head dress.
AS st. Gaudens originally designed
the coin it had no rim. The result was
that the figures We're thrown into re-
lief. and it was found that the coins
would not stack" That is, when a
bank teller or government clerk un-
dertook to stack q lot of gold coins on
top Of each other they would topple
over. A. rim was accordingly added,
and this brought the edge of the coin
up to level with the figures on it, but
it necessitated the crowding of "E
Pluribus Unum' nearer to the head
dress
The president was set against the
words In God We Trust" from the
beginning, and would have left them
off even if st. Gaudens had wanted
them on.
AS soon as it became known that an
Irish" girl. Mary Cunningham, was
the model for the head on the coin,
protests began to pour in by the buck
etfull from nom Catholic people. Let.
ters from True Americans" cranks of
it as proclamation.
The president hurried up the execu-
tion of the new coin, in order to get
it through before congress could inter-
vene. He fully anticipated the storm
that would arise over the leaving out
of I'm God We Trust" and was aware
that if the work was delayed until
congress met the responsiveness of that
body to any demand from religious
denominations would probably result

in his being overruled.
AS it is. the design cannot be chang
ed for twenty-five years, unless con-
gress takes a hand. A law passed in
1890, superseding all laws on the sub
iect, makes such design permanent for
quarter of century.
A $50 coin is now being made, and it
also will omit I'm God We Trust"
The motto was placed upon United
States coins at the instance Of James
Pollock, of Pennsylvania. Upon his
retirement from the gubernatorial
chair in 1855 he was made superin-
tendent of the mint at Philadelphia.
When a new issue of coins was author
lied he obtained permission Of Presi.
dent Buchanan to have placed upon
them the inscription which President
Roosevelt has now objected to on the
ground that he thinks it irreverent
and out of place.
President Roosevelt is not the first
chief executive of the United States
who has had to wrestle with the ques-
ton whether to place the motto I'm
God We Trust" on the coins of the
country.
President Hayes had to face the
same problem back in 1873. He met
it, however, in different way than
President Roosevelt. He decided the
motto alluded to should be retained.
John Sherman, then secretary Of the
treasury. took the same view, but ow-
ing to the fact the question was raised
and as he deemed it matter of mo-
ment he advised with President Hayes
about it. The result of the conference
was that the secretary of the treasury
issued an order to adopt a, design
having thereon the words. I'm God We
Trust" Undoubtedly widespread
controversy was avoided by the deci-
sion.
The administration concluded it un-
wise to omit the motto relating to the
deity. From that time on until the
new SO gold piece was designed by
st. Gaudens the motto was not dis
placed.
1t is interesting that the law under
which the 2-cent piece was first coined
and the motto, "In God We Trust .
was first used, did not say a word on
the subjet of reference to the deity.
1t provided merely that devices OF
said coins shall be fixed by the direc-
tor OF the mint, with the approval of
the secretary of the treasury
The act of March 3, 1865, provided
that in addition to the legend and de-
vice on the gold and silver coins Of
the United States it should be lawful
for the director of the mint, with the
approval Of the secretary of the treas
ury, to place the motto, "In God We
Trust" on such coins as admitted Of
the inscription thereon. Under this
act, the motto was placed upon the
double eagle, eagle, and half eagle and
also upon the dollar, half and quarter
dollars in the latter part of 1865.
The coinage act of February IL, 1873,
provided that the secretary of the
treasury may cause the motto, I'm
God We Trust" to be inscribed on
such coins as shall admit of such mot
to.
But when, OH June %, 1874, congress
enacted the codif1cation of the laws.
the revised statutes, references to "In
God We Trust" was omitted and pre-
ceding legislation on the subject was
repealed. Congress seems to have act
ed on the matter without much con-
sideration, in fact, with about as much
consideration as is given the average
supply bill.

was this knowledge of their surround

sing of them:
"Girt around by cruel foes.
Still their spirits proudly rose.
For they thought of hearts that loved
them far and near.

And the friends in holy ireland ever
