It warns such machines would misprice value, reduce dollars to pennies, and fail to deliver genuine wealth, invoking fiat money critiques.

Morton on Silver Coinage in 19th Century Letter
Secretary of Agriculture Morton writes to a New York correspondent in June asking for explanation of monetary theories linking 60 cents of silver to a dollar, and how such a system would benefit farmers delaying gold miners. He questions the idea of free silver and the conversion of 60 cent worth wheat into a dollar, identifying metallurgical and policy concerns.

Woolen imports and tariff impact on American manufacturers
The Philadelphia Record argues that reduced duties since the new tariff did not harm home woolen makers. Raw wool imports rose, enabling U.S. firms to compete with foreign rivals, boosting quality and price. Fraudulent valuation concerns faded with tariff changes. A note mentions students at Lasell Seminary, Auburndale, forming a military battalion of 70 girl students.
