Garfield on resumption proves nothing on gold basis
The Cincinnati Times criticizes General Garfield for not sticking to the resumption issue. It urges him to justify how a gold standard could be restored by January 1879, noting arguments about inflation or effects on the poor miss the core question.

Vanderbilt Income Reaches Multimillion Marks in City
The New York Dispatch notes William H. Vanderbilt receives the largest share of interest and dividends paid on stock and bonds in the city and perhaps the nation. Estimates place his annual income between six and seven million dollars, with about four million from New York Central Railroad securities. The figure rivals his father Commodore Vanderbilt, and the son reportedly reinvests these incomes in similar financial instruments, avoiding real estate.
