6th of Sl A e 5 HOW BANK NOTES ARE MADE | A Glance Throuzh the Burean of Engraving and Printing, SYSTEM THAT G ARDS LIKE A CERBERUS red Employes Turns Out Overa Milllon a Day—Tow En- gravings Are Made—Millios 1 to Mush, Wasnisaros, Sept. 28.—(Special Corre spondence of Tur Bek. ] —The present finan cial troubles have made tho burcau of graving and printing the liveliest depa ment of the United States government. This 18 Unclo Sam's great money mill. 1t is here that all the new national bank notes being turned out, and greenbacks made by the million, At time in ¢ history have the employes been worked so hard. Their hours have been increasca and 100 extra hands have been added in order 16 hurry on the work. On one day during the month of September £2,000,000 worth of notes were turned over to the Treasury depa ment, and on the 12th of August last nearly 800,000 plate impressions were made on bank notes with hand 8. On the August 82 plate im- pressions were made, which the highest number ever made in the bureau hiere, or any other bureau on the face of the enrth. In twenty-one days $27,000,000 worth of notes were made, and the average is now more than §1,000,000 a day. M John son, the chief of the burcau, emphatically statos that ho can print all the moncy the country can use if he has only the author of congress and the treasury to buck him, aEd he has the great factory so organized thatits capacity is practically unlimited The money is turned ont in sheets with four notes on each sheet and its amount is deter- mined by the denomination of the bills. I takes no more time to print four one thousand dollar notés than four one dollar notes, and the capucity of the burcau is measured by sheets. In ordinary times it has turned out only from 6,000 to 8,000 sheets daily. Itis now running out from 50,000 to 60,000 sheets every day aud bank notes are being made more qaickly now than ever before. The usual time required to make a bank note is twenty-one days. This, under the present stress, has been reduced to fourteen days, and the nerves of the engravers and muscles of the printers are strained to the utmost. The Increase of work in the bureau began about the 1stof July and went on steadily during that month, August and September, and today the hum of the mackinery in the bureau is like that of agreat factory, and its machines are ratthing awav with such a noiso that they almost shake the Washing- ton monument which stands r them, Miltions in Natlonal Bank Notes. The vast increase of work has come from the demand for money from -the national banks of the country. They have been de- positing more bonds in order to incre their circulation, and it has been 10und that a large number of them bave been holding bouds upon which they had not demanded the currency. New orders for paper have had to be sent to Dalton, Mass., in order to supply these demands, and the great stoel van which carries the bank notes over to the treasury has been making several trips daily. Not long ago this van delivered 3,000,000 to Secretary Carlisle in one day. t required two trips and it took §1,500,000 at each Isaw this big money wagon at the door of the department as 1 came up to it today. It is hauled by ?\\'n horses, and iy is driven from the treasury to the burcau with four guards, two of which hang on be- hind and the others sit with the driver. 1v Is securely sealed and locked before it leaves the bureau, but it drives its way unostenta- tiously with its miliions over the cobble stones and slips along across the asphalt to the treasury. It looks as though it would be easy to rob s, and its guards carry only revolvers. Nothing of the kind has, how ever, been attemvted, and that old steel wagon will go on carrying millions for generations 1o come. How Uacle Sun Guaards 1is Paper Milllons X walked through the bureau of eng and printing this aftor 1,50 clerks working a told sums of moncey and I was told that the over 81 a day uy d doil A year. Itscemea strange to me that the could resist the temptation, and I inquire into the safeguards which Uncle Si placed about his money ned so easy to slip away with u- £1.000 note or to take home one of these steel plates and print enough to last you u life time. My investi- ation, howe showed e that no miser’s hoard has ever been guarded as is this money of Uncle his burcau must cover several ncres, It contains three stories and o basement, and it is packed full of machin- and ergraving mater bit of this material has to be accounted for e night betore any one can leave tho puil In -the corvidor as 1 avent metal plate set in A frame -in the wall. It looked much hke the electric button plate at a hotel office. It contained twelve round holes and cach hole was labeled with the nume of one of the depart- ments of the bureau. There were no pins or buttons in the holes, but I found that they all had to be iilled before uny one could leave the depurtment. As 500n as an - ventory has been taken of the work of o de partment at the close of a day, and all ac- counts are found to be correct, the superin- tendent of that departmient marches down and puts a pin with a button on the end into the hole marked with his division. As he does 50 an electricgong rings and the wateh- man permits the men of that division to g out. Al of the holes have to be filled bo- fore the building is empty, and if u sheet of puper, & bank note or a scrap of unything mportant is lost tho employes are ail kept until it is found. The hands in tais factory are prisoners during the day. The most of them work inside of steel cages and the notes are printed on the machine surrounded Ly a great network of steel fence, Bl Paper Worth Its Welght in monds, The paper used in this big money factor is worth its welght n diamonds, At leust if 1 is lost it may cost the bureau or the clerks more than its weight in diamonds to supply its loss. Every sheot of it which is made is registered at the mill at Dalton, Mass., and the paper mill cannot wake a sheet which must not be accounted for to the govern- The paper 1s sent from the mills to ury, and it is issued by the Treas- ury rtment from day to day to the bureau of engraving and printing. 1t is car- ried over in the big steel wagon wiich hauls back the money, and as soon s it is sent from the treusury it represents so much money. 1f, for instance, 1,000 sheets are sent over in 8100 bills these 1,000 sheots represent $400,000, as there are four bills to each sheet. [f 1 the printing of these shects one sheet should happen to be lost the clerk who lost it would have to pay $100 for it. If the denomina. tion of the,shoet was $1,000, iustead of 100, he would be liable to the ext 000, and he or tho bureau would have to @ up the loss. I took & look at a lot of paper vesterday. 1t was piled away in Ereat stacks, much of it being dampened for the presses. 1t is white and it cowes to the department in sheets just large enough for the printing of four bauk notes. T'wo sheets ether would be the size of a lady's iof and two lines of silk thread run down one side of the sheet so as to make thew ko on the face of every note. 1 hun- dled some of this paper. It is crisp and stroug, and I would have liked to have car- ried away & sample, but when 1 suggested it the s ‘wrlnlrullvnl looked ut me with horror and I found thut all defective sheets have to be accounted for as well as the good ones, and that such sheets are canceled by holes punched through them und they are sent buck to the treasury with the good money. Euch one of these sheets is counted no aving oon and watched the ng. in I saw a Dia- about furty thwmes before it is turned from . White paperduto greenback dollars.

The initials of the printers arc on the plates they use. and it would be a great deal casier to carry off a half dozen bags of the silver from the steel vaults of the treasury than to crib one of these sheats of blank paper. Steel Worth More Than Gold. It is the same with the stecl plates from which the money is cugraved. They are worth more than_their weight in gol¢ are more earelully guarded than the crown Jewels inthe Tower of London. Inone do partment of the burcau there are four g vaults, before which guards always sit chiefof these guards gets year,and he 18 responsible for the dies and plates in his charge. He has them locked away in these vaults in such order that he can put his hands on them at any moment he vaults re entered by steel doors, and the cc ns with which they are’ closed a for each door d only one these is time lock. The combination lovks a h known o one man, who kecps ret to him scif, but writes out a 1 to it and sends it in_a sealed envelope to Secretary Carlisle.

There are about 40,- 000 different pieces of stecl in the vault, Lliese weigh about fifty tons, and constitute the most valuable steel i existence. How Bank Notes Are Made. These 40,000 different pieces of stecl repre- sent the work of many lives, They are cov ered with the finest of engravings, and 'k of human ruined in eir production.” There is no finer engrav- g in the world than on vur bank note there is wone $o ruinous to the e The engravers work in little cubby holes under the windows, and there is a long room here filled with engravers, The entire fuce and back of a note is never eng, i man, Oune engraver m; letters on a bill, Another makes a spe of portraits and another has some othe par- ticular part of the work which he can do better than any one clse. He does hie work on 4 picce of soft steel. When it is done it 15 hardencd and is transforred to u soft steel roll about as big around us a schooner beer glass. This roil of steel is hardened and its impression is rolled off onto the steel plate from which the note is to be printed. FEvery plate has on it the face or buck of four notes, and it takes just as mnuc trouble to engrave a 81 b.llas it does a $1,000 bill. Engravers to £100 and the highest d men are those who work on portraits. Uhey make the engravings for revenue stamps and postal c: s well as for bunk notes, and thel to be perfect in order to t now they are engraving a diploma o be given out Lo the exhibitors of the World’s fair exposition at Chicago. This will cost thousands of dollars and is & won- derfully fine picce of beautiful workmunshup, Printing tor the National Banks. The work being done on the national bank t the present time is more like or- 'y printing than the fine work of the iu. Al national bunk notes have their charters and seals put ou byghe surface pro- cess, and there are a dozen or morve Hoe presses which are working away fimishing the eng: d notes for tho national banks. The national bank note plates are all the same, but the bureau has had to make new plates for some of the banks, and the en- gravers und the plate printers have been urning out the original notes for this vrint- ing at lightning speod. The printing of the notes, with the exception of this surface printing, is all hand work. Iuside a great steel fence surrounding a room covering about half an acre the; hundreds of hand presses, cach of which is worked by a printer and his assistant. The printers ure of all ages and their stants are all women. I noticed that some of the women were colored, and not a few of them are a black as the ace of spades. The printes are paid $0 much and they have to hire their own assistants. They are not allowed to choose their istants, but they have to take the women whicn the department gives them, The pr has to be inked and wiped off for cvery impression, and the printers work away with their sieeves rolled up to their elbows and their arms covered with green ink, The press which prints the greenbacks and other money looks like a four-armed windmill, and it consists of two metal rollers, between which there is a slab of iron runuing on four guide wheels. The printer first puts his plate on a small gas stove, rolls inkover its surfuace with a roller znd ' then rubs the surplus of the ink off with his hana and rag. He polishes the plate with whit- ing until it shines like a wirror, and tikes all the ink off but that in the engraved line, He vow places the plate on the press, the paper is put on it, and by a hard pull of the windmill-like avms of the press the impres- sion is made. This prints only part of u bill and all bills have 1o go through the presses seyeral times. As soon s the bank not are finished the; taken to the drying room and left there over night, This room is heated by steam o0 2502 above zero, and in the morning the sheets are thoroughly d and as crisp as crackers. In the morning they are cavefully examined for imper(e tions, und the least fuault in u sheet causes iv to be thrown aside. If a smudge of ink has gotten upon it or if there is the slightest i take in the printing it caunot be used, and the printer who cuused the trouble hus 1 cor. tain amount deducted from his wages - fo every sheet 50 injured, . The sheets polished by being put between willboards and u pressure of 5,000 pounds to the squure inch is placed upon them. The; then numbered by automatic machines, and are finully put uv in packages of 1,000 notes each, with ten slips of paper between each 100 not Women Who Handle Fortunes, The women who handle the monoy are the most expert counters in the world, Their fingers go like lightning. They do not movo thewr hips nor ity thelv eyes, but they rattle off the bills at the 1 100 4 “minute, ‘They have to be women and it mis- tukes are made they g rged with them, After the notes are counted thoy are put into the iron van and carvied over to the treasury, whence thoy are now being shipped all over the country. ~ At the treasuvy the uotes are counted as "soon s the, are re- ceived. The sheets are evt up und the monoy is sent out i packages of 100 notes cach.” Before starting it is safe to say that a greenback s counted thirty times after it has left the printer, and there is no possivle chunce for fraud or theft, A Million Doliar Fot of Mush, Leaving the girls couuting out these na- tional bunk notes and handling fortunes in an hour I went down into the basement of this great money factory and saw a pot of the costliest mush the world has ever known, Taink of a potof mush worth more than £1,000,000. Thatis what 1 saw in the base: ment. It was steaming and seething in o greav cylinder, and it was made of cut up greenbucts, Al the money thut comes bick 10 the Lreasury is brought over to this place and cooked and ground und steamed urtil it furus from notes into a pulpy, pasty mixture tor all the world like oat meal gruel, The cooking goes on every duy and from §1,000,- 000 to £2,000.000 are ground up every twenty- four hours. The money is cut in Lulves at the ¥ department, Itis nauled here in tosteel vau and it takes 1,600 pounds of it to fill the mush pot. 1t goes in dirty and filthy with the soiling of many huuds. The chemicals and steam takes il the dirt and filth out of it, and it comes ouy groy and pulpy. 1t is ‘then molded iuto urds looking for all the world like hides or untanned leather, and is sold to paper mwills, Some of it i made into little images of the Wushinglon mouument, caricatures of Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland, und these are sold for welghts or souvenirs for sightseers, ach souvenir is labeled with the amount of money which is supposed o have been made from the pulp from which it is constructed. But this, of course, is all guess work. Tne same awount of pulp could make §100,000 Wworth of notes, or $1,000 worth of notes, ne- cording to the denomination priated on ' the Paper which it represented, Money. Frospects, Mr. Claude M.
