Prices of Wool and Tariffs Debate in 1890s Letters
Spalding voices that wool prices fell due to global market openings not silver demonetization. He cites 1892–1895 averages, 1895 import surges, and tariff debates with McKinley and Wilson laws. Spalding replies, arguing production, world supply, and foreign imports, not silver, drove price declines and wool prosperity varied with markets and freight costs.

The Portland Vase and its Extraordinary Making
The Portland Vase puzzled European antiquarians for years as experts debated chalcedony, sardonyx, amethyst, and other materials. Wedgwood proved it a white glass layer over dark blue, with cameos cut to reveal blue beneath. The vase was repaired after a break, and copies in jasper ware followed from 1789 onward, with prices rising over time. In 1810 it entered the British Museum and was later damaged by a drunken visitor before repairs. The bas-relief subject remains disputed, with theories of Thetis and Peleus, Poseidon, Eros, and a youthful Paris bust on the bottom.
