The last scene in the second act

MANY PEOPLE OPPOSE
THE VERY SMALL COINS

Washington, November cit has
been learned recently that congress
will hardly be willing to complete
the passage of the bill providing
for the coinage of a Scent piece and
a R-cent piece. Opponents of the
legislation have been Industrious
during the summer and fall, and ii
is learned that they are prepared
to swoop down on the senate
finance committee, in December, with
a hundred reasons, more or less
why the legislation should not be
enacted.
A bill providing for the Scent and
13-cent pieces went through the
house during the last session, but
not without much opposition. That
opposition was increased when the
bill reached the senate, and, as a re-
suit, the finance committee, after
several hearings, decided to put the
matter over until the session begin
ming December 2. So much for the
Legislative status of the case
The Scent idea had its origin in
Cleveland, among the people who
wanted such coin as matter OF
convenience on their Scent fare
street railways; but it was earnest
ly opposed by the bankers of the
country, the slot machine manufac
turers, the street railway companies
and others. The bankers opposed
it because it would necessitate the
reconstruction of their automatic
change-making devices, which, in
the aggregate, would amount to 8
great tax on that business, and, as
the bankers said, without CORE

spending benefit either to them or
to the public at large.
The slot machine manufacturers
opposed it for a like reason. The
street railway managers objected to
it because they thought they saw in
it the beginning of a widespread agi-
tation, possibly successful in the
end, for Scent fares.
The half-cent scheme was favored
by the proprietors of the great de-
partment stores of the large cities,
or by a great many of them, who
figured that such a coin would great
ly facilitate the making of change;
but there were many department
store proprietors who opposed it on
the ground that a large profit, which
they now get, of u a cent on arti-
cles priced at 1912 cents, would be
lost The strongest opposition, how
ever, came from a number of pub
fishers of daily newspapers, espe-
cially in the larger cities of the
east, who thought they could fore
see the day of R-cent dailies, should
the law be enacted
The united weight Of this opposi-
ton was so great, without any cor
responding weight in favor of the
bill, that, as has already been said,
it was hung up in the senate COM
mittee on finance, from which it will
probably not emerge; for the oppo-
sition has been gathering force dur
ing the recess of congress, and will
appear in December in such a way
as to override, in all probability the
arguments thus far advanced by the
people who desire the legislation.
