What Jerry Learned in the East
Simpson returns from New England more radical, arguing for a new party to carry a radical reform agenda. He notes New York farms mortgaged well above their value, predicts free traders rise in New England, and says protectionism harms manufacturers. He says Democrats are a conservative party and envisions a 35 to 40 strong Farmers Alliance bloc demanding concessions.

Balzac Ursula and Zola Money in 1891 Review
Balzac's Ursula in translation by Miss Wormeley is praised for its innocent yet sharp depiction of Nemours bourgeoisie and the Minoret family. Zola's Money is a serious finance world study with flaws of scale, while other translations such as Jerry and Lermola receive mixed notices for handling character and social themes.
