Currency bill passes House with expansionist support
The four months of currency debate ends as Dawes' bill sets legal tender at 409 million dollars and advances to the Senate. It would add 18 million dollars to circulating medium, with the West and South voting solidly for expansion. Reports note Pension Agent Miss Sweet in Chicago and VP Wilson's improving health, while other items touch the National Republican’s printing bills, Sumner monument talk, Prentice poems, and a levee breach at Bolivar Mississippi.

Great Events From Small Causes In History
The piece argues major revolutions begin from minor actions. It cites Newton’s apple, the steam pot motive power, the cotton gin, Columbus’s voyage, and political turns from Charles I to Napoleon. It highlights a 1842 Indiana election where a one vote shift led to annexation of Texas, the Mexican War, and the Civil War’s slavery outcome, concluding no trifling act is truly insignificant.
