Honest dollar or the silver question in politics
The East Oregonian reprints a Cincinnati Enquirer argument urging silver coinage as the just standard, tracing U.S. coinage history from 1793 to 1873, accusing money manipulators of favoring gold, and predicting political schemes to restore gold with McKinley era plans. It cites Bryan, Boies, and farm costs as context for a silver defense.

Hebrews Reject Ships With Single Smokestack
A steamship ticket agent reports East Side Jewish customers refuse to sail on vessels with one smokestack, preferring three. They pay about twenty dollars and distrust single-funnel ships, even when misled with promises of extra stacks to pass under the Brooklyn Bridge. The piece also reprints the Democratic Platform praising silver coinage, anti-monopoly aims, and tariff reform.
