MONEY TO EURN
According to Mr. Mill in the Temper
a:iee Educational Quarterly,“15,800,
o> ),o">o cigarettes were made in tlie
II lited States in 1913.“ At ten cents
a package means $f 58,000,000,for
cigarettes alone.
“Thatis a lot of money.Let i:s see
how it compares with certain items in
the national budget. From 1792, when
the government began to mint coirs
on alarge scale, to June 30, iQi^.theie
had been turned out nickels,
$39,010,924.60. Dimes coined during
that period aggregated $68,129,827.
of quarters there were $99,653,261.25
Of coppers $21,812,855.73. In
other words, the nation’s cigarette
bill for 1913 based on an average price
of ten cent a box, was equal to all
the nickels,dimes and pennies minted
by the government in one hundred and
twenty years i with enough leftover to
hive nearly supported the legislative,
executive and judicial branches of
the national government during 1914.
