The Atlanta Constitution attacks the credit system as harmful to the South detailing how farmers are forced to sell cotton under lender dictates and face usury rates. It argues small provision dealers dictate credit, the all cotton policy cripples farmers, and current usury laws inflate interest from 50 to 100 percent.

New York Evening Post on Guiteau Trial Move
The Times condemns Seoville for seeking a new trial for Guiteau. It argues the civilized world agrees Guiteau was a villain in a responsible mind when Garfield was killed. A declaration that no sane citizen could murder a president would be risky and imply lunacy as punishment. The paper doubts public funds would support such an effort.

Italy plans massive army expansion and tax rise
Italy aims to raise annual recruits from 15 000 to 75 000 and form four new divisions into two army corps in war time. It would add sixteen infantry regiments and two Bersaglieri, develop artillery to field 1000 guns, and add twelve cavalry squadrons. First class service drops from 36 to 33 months, with many new generals and officers. The plan implies huge costs and higher taxes, risking unsustainable debt.
