The article notes a 13 cent rise in wheat over thirty days while silver prices fall, driven by global shortages in Russia, India, and Argentina and rising U.S. exports. It contrasts Bryan’s silver debate with a Jeffersonian view on a gold standard and bimetallism as the practical money measure. It also marks Chicago’s twenty-fifth fire anniversary with a large Meckinley Hobart parade and a weather note on a northeast rain.
