There v. as a time within the remembrance of western and southern Ameiieans, before Imitt-d Stat a silver coin was in general circulation in the Mis.-.ist-ippi valley, when the picayune, a Spanish coin worth when in good condition '.t.hj cents and when weir smooth 5 Cviits. was the smallest . coin in use. From the picayune came the word pica via.:-h, signifying a small, mean, penurious nature. l:i Mew laniard, where the people so divided the dollar as to create many fractions nxidcontinn- ci to spe: X of shillings, pcr.cc : i:d i'.df i pence long after our: <.parnrnr.i i. om England, a . <>: \; r coina:.- was maintained. and people con ..e.i-.d lor the , odd cents and even half ;:ts d'.r theai in !ual:r.:g chr.m-e lnoni ti.e p:m-1 ifsi Hires, hut licuiuui::!' west of tin; Hudson there was until a comparatively recent period an nosiiice of copper coins, nothing lor sale at less than 5 cents and u general dia- ' position to s;aal: lightly of even Z cent transactions. This has. within the present peneration^greatly changed. The nickel has come to stay, ami cents are everywhere in circulation. The j;ovem incut set an example in ilrst re- ! duciug letter postage to 11 cents and later to 2 cents. Tlio proud, haughty and lavish American found liimtelf Compelled tt) deal in coins less than ' 5 cents. The cheapening of postage J led to the selling of many articles of common use, such us newspapers, I at less; than 5 cents, ami whatever sacrifice of pride it may have cost, ; the average American found himself buying these things rt the reduced 1 prices and dealing in nickels and pennies. It was a come down, hut : it came. Jt should bo remembered that j these so called dealings were not the result of decreasing wealth in the ' country, since the supply of money j in the country lias been steadily in 1 creasing for many years, but were the effect of increasing sense. The massive and yet acute intellect of the American has grasped the fact i that there is no reason why he should buy more cf a given article i than he needs or pay for it twice as I much as is asked.

Of course he realizes at times that he should nut eat pie, but his system is somuch run down that he has not strength of mind euougb to resist the temptation. Do you see that other man over there?"
