Silver plank and Bryan heir loom in 1896 echo
Older voters recall the Cross of Gold era as William Jennings Bryan’s son leads a push for a bi metal silver plank at the upcoming Democratic convention. The younger Bryan promotes restoring purchasing power to align currency with silver rather than gold.

Also described is a large unemployed relief project by International Harvester in Chicago, turning a 1000-acre tract into gardens for 4500 workers with quarter-acre plots, tools, and expert instruction to grow vegetables while payrolls are laid off.
