It Is probably th only commercial enterprise ' In whrth the government Is engaged. Th business Is carried on at th United States minis, but Is as distinctly a commercial undertaking as any privet nterpra. It ,1a a factory tor the making of medals and j-ja uer insignia, and Is distinct and separate y irom me tniiiuna v .Muiivjr, wv. dti by separate workmen and with dif ferent machinery to that uaed In the coin ing of the national medium of exchange. Th medal department will not make a die for a private Individual. He must pre pare this himself, but If he does so and takes th 41 te tb mint he osn have as' many medal struck off a h is able to pay for, at a reasonable profit on th cost or th mtal. This being th case it will b seen that any on caa award himself a medal, or decide to present all hi ao iltacae with on in honor of eom H'ent of common Interest to them all. Then he can have a dl maa rrom me aeaign . V he has prepared, take this dl to th mint f' P and obtain a supply of government made J rn-iU dnne In th very beat and moat workmanlike manner.

Ths standard silver dol lar requires only 160 tons, and th double eagle 165 tons pressure. Fraternal society souvenirs can bs mad by th government In this medal department, and a brisk business Is dons with organisations, who can afford to have their Insignia cut by Unci Barn's fine new machinery. There ar no canvassers out drumming up busi ness for the medal department, and were it mor widely known that this work is dona by the government It Is probabls that many mor would avail themselves of the opportunity of obtaining mint-mad souvs nirs than at present. Collectloa f Deslgas. Ther Is at ths medal department of ths mint a cholc collection of designs to Quicken th Imagination of th customer aod show him how a properly designed medal should look. Also ther Is a big stock of government deslgnsd and govern ment awarded medals on head for sals to any on who desires them. Tbes med als that ar offered for sal ar all offi cial. In th sens that they hav been or dered and authorised by th government to commemorate some event or he achievement of soms Individual, and taken together they constitute a valuabl Index and chronology of the country's history from ths earliest times to the present day. Most of these stock medals ar of bronso, but If som particular cuatomsr who can afford to do so wishes to have on or mor mad of gold from th aame die, this a 111 be dons for hire to order. If he merely wants a brons medal he can prob ably select on from th stock at hs mint. Faaaeas Medal. Th' famous Washington medal, "Tims Increases His Fame." may be had In gold for $9.

De-2S), la probably tb only medal awarded partur of the United Btstes Atlantic Fleet on Crula Around th World." Th list Includes a full lln of- presidential medals from Washington to Roosevelt, which sell for tl each, but which. It Is said, ar apt to b put on th bargain list soon at 11 esch. They hav a uniform six of thre inches, ths diameter' of cir cular medals balng generally given In six teenths of an inch. Medala that ar historical ar those that are given by congress to army and navy officers and to privat cltisens for deds of valor. An Interesting medal scheduled for th list Is known officially as th "Washington Before Boston" medal. It was given to George Washington by con grbs In commemoration of th evacuation of Boston, March IT, 1T71 Th design for this was executed by Du Vlvler, who was selected by th commission appointed for th purpose by congress, consisting of John Adams, John Jay and Francis by congress during ths Revolutionary period that was the work of an Amer ican engraver. This was Joseph Wright, one of the earliest of th United States engravers and the first dteslnker of th United Stales mint. He also mad the dies for what Is declared to be th bsst metallic portrait of Washington ever ex ecuted. Among other medals given to soldiers and sailors of ths revolutionary war may be mentioned Major General Gates, for th surrender of Burgoyne; John Paul Jonea, for the Serapls, and General Daniel Mor gan, for th battle of Cowpens. A medal with an Interesting history was ons prssented to Count d Flury, a French officer, who was th first to surmount ths walls of ths fort at Btony Point. It is aid that th medal never reached D Fleury, as h had returned horn before It could be got her from Frano. where It was mad. A silver medal found at Prlncs- Hopklrs. It was mad and struck In 1 ton In 1880 Is declared to b th original Franc under the supervision of Benjamin of tn on, awarded to De Fleury. The ob- Franklln, than representing thl country In Paris.

Some Interesting medals ar to be found In th miscellaneous lot. Th fleet medal belongs In this list. Also ths Cyrus Field medal for th laying of the Atlantic cable. This was engraved by William Barber, father of th present chief engraver of th mint at Philadelphia. It Is a costly a well as handsome souvenir, being listed at S In bron.e. There are In existence two Impressions of th Field medal In gold. The medal Intended for presenta tion to Mr. Field was forwarded to Wash ington fur th Inspection of President Johnson, and in som way was returned to th treasury without th knowledge of th custodian. Then It was lost and an other had to be struck. Subsequently, som years later, th original turned up. If any on Is Interested In th medal be stowed by congress on Joseph Francis for "Inventing and framing" the life saving apparatus now used by the government on our coasts It can be bought from the mint for Iti. It was designed by Louis Balnt-Gaudens. brother of Augustus Eaint Gaudens. Still other medala that can be bought at th mint ar of th last five secretaries of ths treasury for i each; th directors and superintendent at prices ranging from ll.li to U each. Th medallio art, as distinguished from that of metal money coining Is a compara tively modern on. Th inventor of th medal, as at present understood, Is said to have been Antonio Pisanello. Th first medal made by him waa that known as th "Llonell D'Ests," and commemorates th marriage of th king of Naples to th marquis of Ferrare. It may be added thai th designing of msdals Is not only an art in Itself as som of th great artists who hav tried it hav discovered but It Is one requiring special technical knowl edge of th properties of th various metals used, their behavior under differ ent temperatures and the limitations of alxe and shape.

Bssed on recent reports of their earn- I lngs, thirty-nine lesding Industrial corpora tions of the country would contribute ap proximately 15.000,000 to the government revenues under ths proponed plan of levy ing a 1 per cent tax on net lnoomes. These thlrty-nln corporations would, of course, contrlbut a comparatively small amount of the money which would be obtained by th government through this source, most of which would com from the great rail road corporations. Of the Industrial concerns, the Standard OH company would be the largest contrib utor, paying $1,100,000, according to calcu lations based on the latest report of earn ings available. The United States Steel corporation would com next with $f4 W7 and th American Tobacco company third with $4eS.43l. Th American Telephone and Telegraph company would pay In $302,484, and, aside from th companies mentioned, th annual tax In every other case wouid be under $300,000. Half a dosen concerns would hav to pay between $100,000 and $700 000. and th tax on th remainder would b less than $100 000 each. These figures ar deduced from the statements of earnings mostly for ths re cent fiscal year, In which heavy losses wr reflected from th depression fol lowing th panic, and In ordinary times undoubtedly th tax would b much larger than Indicated. 1 Tb following list ootttalna thlrty-nln Industrial corporations, together with th balanc avallabl for dividends, subjeet to th proposed $ per cent tax and th amount of revenue which would be derived therefrom: Available for . , . dividends. u,n.,alnI iopper . .ii.ikiSiM) Revenue derived. $ 7I,27 1M. ai il.ltil 140.124 90,634 nm i6,tii 26,014 21,6. .9 lea. 484 29 875 sl.Txt 41.4S7 a 66$ 40,974 126 Ul 17 SIM 177.713 92,718 121 7S US M 0t-5 T7.9XJ SI 4 M3 15, 171 M 114 m 424 tioo.iiw S5.02J 71.071 M4.W.T n m l,!i4 49 f y 41 r, S9.41S . .$4.16 K4 Tb flail I more Ohio Railroad.
