Worrying Leaders.
Growing concern is being evinced by
Republican House leaders as to the
wisdom OF bringing In an omnibus pub
lic buildings bill al this session.
For three successive weeks the com
mittee has failed to have scheduled
meetings 60 consider this question. In
the meantime, il is understood that
Chairman Bartholdt has had as many
conferences with President Taft with
view % obtaining the latter's definite
sanction Of an omnibus bill AT this ses-
sion. So far, it is understood. the Pres
ident has not been enthusiastic over
the matter. inasmuch as this is pre-
sumed TO be a session OF economy. and
there has been no considerable pairing
other appropriations measures.
Committee In Dilemma
The dilemma I'm which the House com
mittee finds itself was evidenced AZ the
preliminary meeting 10 consider public
buildings and grounds bills. OF which
there are more than hundred before
the committee. a hearing was ordered
upon one Of the measures. Representa-
tive Austin Of Tennessee suggested 20
the committee that before hearings
We're begun It would be wise 10 decide
whether there should be an omnibus

Chairman Bartholdt informed Mr.
Austin that this matter might be- voted
upon al the next meeting. This meet

DID CLEVER WORK
CANADIAN coINERs LONG BAF-
FLED AUTHORITIES
Peculiar History of "HlaeksmIth" To-
kens That Are interesting to Nu-
mlsmatlsts-5eua With Ne
cesslty for Small Change.

A good deal has been heard OF late
years among coin collectors about the
so-called blacksmith" tokens OF
Canada. The unsatisfactory con-
dition Of the currency in Canada up
to comparatively recent times ex-
plains the reason for the Issue OF sucn
coins.
For many years the supply Of legal
copper coins had been altogether in
adequate. SO that often anything in
the shape OF a copper passed current.
AT the beginning OF the nineteenth
century the only legal copper circu-
lating medium was an insuffi cient and
diminishing supply of worn out Brit
fish half pence sent over from Eng
land
A little later this was supplemented
by deluge OF imported private to-
kens. Their overabundance, accord
ing to a writer in the Numismatist,
soon caused them to be discredited
ana stringent means were adopted to
prevent further importation OF such
coin into Canada or its manufacture
there.
But as the necessity for an adequate
supply Of small change became more
pressing, various ways for eyading the
blockade were evolved One Of these
was by making or importing tokens
which bore date previous to the
date Of the edict excluding private
coins, Another way. which was at
one time very prevalent In England,
was to evade the counterfeiting laws
by suppressing the legends and sub
stituting instead some capricious or
meaningless legend, as "Claudius Ro-
manus," HGeorgius III Rox," George
Rules" "Glorius Ter Wis, etc. These
spurious coins presented the same
general appearance to the ignorant
populace as the regal coinage.
A third means, and this is charac-
teristic of the Canadian Blacksmiths,
was by counterfeiting the worn Brit.
ish half pence. the only legal copper
coins in circulation, on which the
date. legend and all but an indistinct
outline OF the design had been effaced.
Although they thus produced rude
coinage these early Canadian coiners
showed considerable skill in so ma
king fresh coins bear the appearance
Of an old worn out but still legal cur
rency that they were able to circu-
late vast quantities OF their spurious
limitations. 1t is worth noting that
the designs on these Blacksmiths
often face in the opposite direction to
their prototypes.
AS an explanation OF their name the
story is told that blacksmith Of dis
solute habits lived In Montreal and
when he wished to have good
ffme' struck two or three dollars of
these coppers and thereby supplied
himself with sufficient change to graf
lily his wishes" The name was
adopted by numismatists and applied
to the whole series.
