ABOUT THE HALF-CENT

institution and long maintenance of the half-cent may
be found in the fact that when the Colonies separated
from Great Britain the farthing common coin in
the mother country and thus well fixed IN the minds
of Americans unit that it fell quite naturally into
place in the American SYSTEM though under an indie
pendent
Although the half-cents issued for many wears
regularly accounted for in the Finance Reports of the
Government among outstanding obligations it does
not appear that any considerable number of them
ever presented for redemption AS far as known, the
first time any found their way into the Treasury for
this purpose in 1908, when two sent in by

The wages of the cutters which the Government under
took to pay, three dollars and fifty cents day.
This charge all right for full days hafdays; but
when day had to be split into quarters it made trouble
in the accounts because of the npossbty of splitting
threefty into such parts without introducing fractions
of cent. conference between the heads of the
pany and the Washington authorities had substantially
settled upon scheme whereby the contractors agreed
to divide with the Government these fractional
sums, taking the half cent in and giving
the Government in the next, and SO
OF course, this meant q lot OF possible confusion
bookkeeping, and Smith promptly put in his protest
The Government, he insisted, too grand and mag
