The farmer condemns a looming “orline uy ’73” crisis, cites Wall Street conspiracies, and warns that fixing the weave of pest and price will not prevent collapse in wealth and a harsher winter for common workers.

Free Coinage of Silver Debate At Odds With World Trends

Mr Bryan asserts free coinage at 14 to 1 would lift silver to 1.20 per ounce and claims strong government support. The article questions his premise arguing that silver prices respond globally and cites Voorhees’s 1894 U.S. Senate report on coinage laws from 1792 to 1894. It notes the need for international cooperation and reviews historical patterns.
