Northwest Farm Hard Times Mirrored in Rail Corridor
An early report from Minneapolis recounts a Sunday fire destroying over a million dollars in property including six large sawmills and 60,000,000 feet of lumber plus 100 homes. The piece argues that low crop prices and general hard times across the nation depress farmers everywhere, not just in the Northwest, and notes widespread poor grain and forage conditions from Chicago to Illinois. It concludes that moving east would show settlers their lot is not as dire as workers in older states.

National debate on free coinage spurs widespread support
The discussion argues that about thirteen million votes were cast last November with at least eight million favoring free coinage of silver. It claims Democrats independents and prohibitionists endorsed it, and that eastern papers misjudge regional interest. Also promotes Mrs Winslow's Soothing Syrup as trusted for fifty years, advertised at five and six cents per bottle.
