Abstract
In this article, the author says a few years ago he was requested to join in promoting a movement for the restoration, of the three-cent piece to the national coinage. The prime engineer of the enterprise was a young man named Newton Diehl Baker, who was described as the three-cent-mayor of Cleveland, Ohio. He had taken up the campaign of his immediate predecessor in office, Tom L. Johnson, for three-cent fares on the local street railways, and was then pushing his further plan of placing the city lighting system upon a three-cent-per-kilowatt-hour basis.
