The 1896 race centers on whether the United States will restore silver or cling to gold. Silver advocates seek free coinage at 16 to 1, while many Democrats back free coinage. The author notes a likely struggle at the Republican convention in St Louis and sees the Populist party rising as a reform force, potentially redefining alliances and policy.
A collection of quips contrasts the wartime end with the free silver debate. The National Bimetallist calls free silver the play’s grand central figure, while a Tennessee Populist ribbingly notes the man who wanted free silver has been absent-minded since birth, skewering party loyalty.
A historical ad item notes lactic acid in blood treated by Hood’s Sarsaparilla as the only true blood purifier, with Hood’s Pills aiding liver and bowels. Also mentions fast travel times via Union Pacific and local legal blanks and a clearance sale of shoes at Scumror’s Store in Winnemucca.
