In a crowded 1803 column from Marshall Michigan, reports cover Congressman Aitken backing silver coinage amid tariff fights. The Des Moines convention named Tackson for governor, while currency battles split silver versus hard money with Senator Bland rallying protectionists against English influence. The piece notes women at southern universities and Scottish memory, plus curios on gems, diamonds, and historic regalia.
Secretary Hoke Smith, a Georgia lawyer with a reported 300000 fortune, reflects on his long practice and his desire to become Attorney General. He notes the Interior Department has many legal questions similar to the AG’s office. The piece also advertises Dr King’s New Discovery and various patent medicine claims amid a miscellaneous OCR-filled page.
