Somothing About the Frocess of the Precions Metuis, It is vather difficult to attempt a de- seviption of how money is made. lven eneyelopwdias, which are supposed to be equal to uny and all emergencies, objeet to that. Tna measure they are right. To got the best idea of the multiple and minute processes of minting one must be an eyewitness. It adds charm to the | proceedings to stund by the dusty fur- naces, arranged tinel-like rows, to see them open the ws, and to look right down into the flery cavern, where insatiuble tongues of flame a licking up the molten wasses of silver and gold, A day or two ago, says the Philadel- phia Times, Oflicer Brown, standing be- | side a visitor who had watched with all the fascination of a novice the great iron mouths opening and closing, betrayed himself into a neat little explanation of the process of minting money. Officer Brown has been many years at the mint, s0 the visitor listened ‘with interest, as to one who spoke with authority, Here is the procoss in a nutshell: “*Making money,” said he, with one of those eloguent waves of the hands he keeps by him to use on explanatory oc- causions such as these, “is just like making cake. You mix the dough. We mix the metal. You roll out the dough into shape, we roll ovt the metal intobars, You cut the dough into kes, we cut the metal into e hen we stamp them. The metal left over is melted up and used again, just as the cook gathers up the leftove rolls them again and cuts more cakes, In other words, an amount of metal, the equivalent of $00,000 in gold, ch chemically is made up of 90 per cent gold and 10 per cent copper, is put into a black lead crucible about the size of a peck measure. It is kept in the furnace one hour and fifteen minutes. The workman watches his gold as sa- | oredly as the cook her cukes, and when the molten liguid is brought to the | proper consistency he takes o three- | cornered black lead cup, about the sizo | | | | Coining is that would fit a monkey's head, and dips up 32,000 worth of the metal at pouring it with that | ous dexteiity, which only comes frem | practice, into woulds holding #1,000 each. Nothing can be more besutiful | than the fiery stream of young and pure gold as it glides into the locked arms «f the ivon would. When the liguid solidi- fies it mes a bar, or, W be techuic- elly correct, an ingot about tweive inches long and about half an ineh thick. These ingots are subjected to a pro- cess of rolling out which lengthens them without inereasing the width, The bars are then ready to be cut, One machine euts the coin, another stamps them afie the process of milling has been per- formed. Milling in mint parlance has somewhat of a different signification then in erdinary vernacular. It signi- | fies the rolling over of the edge of the coin preparatory to stamping it with the minute denticulations, which are com- menly known as the milling. The latter process of stamping, and tme that the signet is put a time, marvel- is done at the on the coin, Speaking of stamping introduces the large corps of women who form a con- siderable part of the working force of the mint. About 100 of them are em- ployed, and they attend entirely to the adjusting and stamping. 1t may be said in” explanation of the process of the term “adjusting,” that every coin be- fore it is shaped is carefully weighed. | production of sugar it would | year: It too heavy until the coin too light remelted adjusting women, wit well suit the stam said that most | to 110 ¢ hour &4 st wia is is we the piece Th san employment i thei 1k They are also in char Incidentally it m csees stamp from 3 ins every min In one short 10 gold picces can be around the edge and both sent s process of we delicacy of t 000 in ped on ; of the charge of hey do which comes u women empl the sewing is part vork tho the 1 At fivst thoughts ngruons to associate but all the hag be build hite duck ed is with n y min used b the sewed in I'he drun Yiviou tor no small mint arc bags ave 1 up 1 ing bag when yot it takes to pack th of the « making nme to con P the thing the number coined wet The d-cent pieces a bags and the pennies in $10 bag small silver in 21,000 and the gold in £,000 po .

This has been made possible by the wise provision of law avhich thus ¢ wnd aids the Tarmers to embark in this new industry. ‘The bounty woes divectiy t) our [armers, and if maintained and continied during the fifteen years pro- viced in the McKinley tarift law we be- licte will develop the sugar industry to such an extent as to render the United Stutes independent of all 1eliance upon fereign countries for our supply. *There are but six beet sugar manu- factories in operation in the United States, and our company will be the tirst one organized on the eo-operative plan, which has made Germany the largest stugur-producing nation in the world: and if suceessful here, as we haye no reason to doubt, it will be the precursor and herald of scores of other factories o:= ganized on the same basis, owned and operated by the farmers who produce the raw material, and who will richly deserve the bounty, which was given t foster and encourage this long nogiected industry. “With free 56,000,000 per y paid by the cor The Co-of A1 of s sugar the nation suves ar, which was formerly umer (the people in the | shape of tavifl), while the bounty paid | by the government will not smount to that sum for several yeurs.
