A dying woman and her children are forced from a tenement by a landlord who refuses to consider her illness. The law and an officer back the eviction, leaving the family amid street chaos as observers question public morality.

Julius Love, an elderly local veteran, sought gold instead of silver from three banks after receiving a government pension certificate. He rejected banknotes, choosing silver certificates and government notes of dubious redeemability, while political news excerpts discuss Pro Silver and GOP debates, rail pass refusals, and local endorsements.

He declared his support for restoring silver as a coin metal and vowed to push that objective.
