In a Boston speech President Hadley urges public opinion to drive trusts from existence and law, noting that opinion alone cannot protect the public from monopolies. The Commoner argues for statutes to crystallize opinion, while criticizing St Louis Democrats for backing Wells as an electable candidate and urging true party principles over “business men” influence.
The Commoner criticized St Louis efforts to elect Mr Wells on the democratic ticket despite his opposition to the national ticket. The St Louis Republic is faulted for downplaying the implications, arguing Bryan does care about municipal government but would not support imperialist and corporate-backed leadership. The piece predicts consequences for the Democratic Party if Wells wins and links polygamy and labor issues to broader party integrity.
Congressman Livingston argues the Fifty-sixth congress spent 31.44 billion, a rise over the Fifty-fourth driven mainly by military pensions and expansions.

It explains stock types preferred and common, and criticizes Carter for river and harbor funding motives.

Letters from women praise Peruna as a cure for catarrh and nervous debility. Miss Katie Klein and Miss Anna Prescott report relief from persistent symptoms, linking catarrh to digestion and nervous fatigue.
