Bryan's Inconsistent Push For Bank Deposit Guarantees
The piece argues that William Jennings Bryan's stance on bank deposits exposes contradictions in his Jeffersonian individualism. It contends his calls for a private insurance fund would nationalize and control banking, clashing with his professed defense of competition and states' rights. Taft’s critique is cited on the prudential and moral flaws of such a system.

Australia’s Wage Law Fails to Shape Labor Policy
The Australian Commonwealth faced a landmark High Court ruling on a sweeping attempt to embed union rules in national law. Labor unions used their Parliament leverage to push a tax on agricultural-implement manufacturing, shielding those paying union wages while penalizing non union employers. The measure, tied to a now-defeated plan, aimed to outlaw non union labor through an internal revenue tax deemed prohibitive unless wages were laid down by union resolution.
