Free coinage notion stirs strong debate in Times and Tribune
The Tribune argues free coinage would raise silver’s commercial value while harming the working man, and notes the dollar’s parity rests on government pledges and legal tender laws. Scranton Times counters, explaining current parity keeps silver dollars sound and exchangeable for gold, with daily buying value varying.

Free coinage profits propped by silver mine owners argument
The piece argues that under free coinage silver mine owners would gain whether silver falls to 40 cents or rises to about $1.29, by paying workers in cheaper silver or dollars, thereby cutting production costs. It contrasts this with coal industries and cites forecasts of McKinley vs Bryan, ending with a Chicago Record note dismissing employer coercion fears.

An instructional card explains at a glance how free coinage would shrink currency. It demonstrates by folding sections of gold silver and paper money to show value loss, noting silver and paper would drop to metal value, and total money would fall to about one third current total. It suggests durable card or cloth-hinged versions for pocket use.
