The Individuality of Women in the Equal Ballot Cause
Elizabeth Burrill Curtis argues against treating women as a monolithic class and for recognizing individual differences. She critiques the “woman question” framing, cites Sonya Kovalevsky and others, and insists each woman should choose her career and life path, including motherhood, without imposed fetters or presiding male dictates.

The Free Silver Controversy and Its Economic Effects
The author argues that free silver would raise borrowing costs and distort currency. He compares silver and gold countries, cites Mexico bonds trading below par, and warns of a gold standard collapse, currency depletion, and a possible European demand for gold as silver interests push policy. He concludes the silver shift would trigger price drops, labor disruption, and widespread financial turmoil.
