LINCOLN'S EFFIGY ON
THE NEW COPPER CENT
New Orleans States.


Some one once remarked that the
only thing an American Indian had
left to him in his own country was a
place on the copper pennies, hence
the familiar red cent came to be re
garded as a memorial to the red man.
But now the head of the Indian has
been stricken from the One-cent
piece and that of Lincoln put in its
place. The change, however, has
evoked considerable criticism, and
fear is expressed that the dimes,
quarters, halves and dollars of the
future will bear the portraits CT
Roosevelt, Mckinley, and other for
mer presidents There are not a few
earnest and patriotic persons who in
the Lincoln penny note the tendency
to imperialism and are opposed to the
government adopting the fashion of
the Caesars who caused their heads
to be stamped upon the coins of
Rome In this connection il is well
to note that some one has recalled a
speech delivered by Representative
John Page, of Virginia, in congress in
1892 opposing the resolution provid-
ing for the placing of presidents
heads on the coins of the United
States. In the course of his remarks
Mr.. Page said:
However well pleased they might
be with the head of the great man
now their president, they may have
no reason to be pleased with some Of
his successors; as to him, they have
his busts, his pictures everywhere;
historians are daily celebrating his
fame, and congress has voted him
monument. a further compliment
they need not pay him, especially
when it may be said that no republic
has paid such a compliment to its
chief magistrate; and when indeed it
would be viewed by the world as a
stamp of royalty on our coins; would
wound the feelings of many friends
and crafty our enemies"
As a result of the opposition of Mr..
Page and other members of the house
the resolution to stamp the head of
the president upon the cOuntTy's
coinage was amended by substituting
the head of Liberty, or a figure en-
blematic of liberty, with an inscTip-
ton of the word liberty" AS we
have said there are some people who
believe that the reasons assigned by
John Page for this provision hold
good today, and they contend that
there was no excuse for abolishing
the traditional bronze Indian Liberty
