Open Letter to Uncle Solon Chase on Republican Decay
Wendell Phillips writes a blistering attack on the Republican Party, arguing it has betrayed the wartime gains, capitulated to Wall Street interests, and driven the nation toward bankruptcy. He condemns current leaders like Hayes and Sherman, praises earlier reformers, and calls for greenback remonetization and abolition of bank-issued currency. The piece laments negro exodus, financial policy failures, and demands strong anti-bank, pro-greenback measures to revive the republic.

Ice Plant Promises Vast Daily Ice Output
The Arctic Ice Company in CAngueta GA plans to produce 10 000 to 14 000 pounds of ice daily under contract to Henry F Mmery at about half a cent per pound. The process uses ammonia cooling and brine tanks to freeze blocks 32 by 12 inches, with an initial output of 480 blocks weighing 830 000 pounds. Current 72 hour cycle limits daily yield to one third. The company aims to double capacity with thinner 6 inch blocks and faster freezing, using ammonia coils and a steam pump to recycle gas back to the iron cylinder. Continuous operation hinges on leak-free pumps and cells.
