The DisPater urges recognizing broad plans to aid local manufacturing and commerce, but notes voters focus on taxes and city expenses.

Silver coinage bill shifts value 25 percent under free coinage
The Bland free coinage bill is defended as a path to equalize silver with gold, but voting in committee defeats substitutes and the bill is pushed to lower the silver dollar to about 75 cents on the present dollar. Critics say this would erode purchasing power, hurt savers and small investors, and aid debtors, risking widespread economic harm.

Cassatt Warns on Anthracite Consolidation Powers
A. J. Cassatt rails against coal trust formation that dwarfs public interest and defies law. He calls on Governor Pattison to block consolidation as with the South Penn case, arguing theReadings stock rise signals looming monopoly danger and erosion of individual enterprise in the anthracite industry.
Cassatt Denounces Anthracite Deal While Court Defiance Stands
The view of the subject would add to financial and corporate literature as Cassatt fails to clearly express views during the South Penn contest. He calls the anthracite consolidation audacious and impudent, yet his firm nullified court orders and defied injunctions in the South Penn action. The piece urges Governor action against the coal combination and questions corporate respect for the law, noting Cassatt’s admission of rivals’ constitutional defiance and urging Reading and Pennsylvania lines to obey.
