Free coinage of silver debate echoes in Pennsylvanian note
A Pennsylvanian backs free coinage at 32 to 1 as a supposed fix for currency, but critics say this does not deliver the cheap dollar demanded by orators. The piece recalls history where Republicans favored 16 to 1 in the West, while radicals resisted, shaping a political divide over silver and national finance.

Why Silver is Cheap
A Chicago Times article notes the 1878 world silver output at 61 million ounces with silver at $1.04 per dollar in gold, compares to 165 million ounces and 50.7 cents per dollar a year later, and cites US potato crops and prices in 1894 and 1895, arguing the fall in both metals and potato prices stems from the same cause and questioning farmer reliance on silver dollars.

Independent paper argues moneyed men seek trade, not free silver
The author compares free silver to smallpox as a test, then asserts moneyed men need to deploy funds to sustain trade, investments, factories, and employment. Even selfish motives push them to support measures that keep economic activity alive for capital and labor.
Why free silver would not be honest money
The Chicago Times Herald argues against free silver dollars, saying a true dollar must equal 100 cents in silver. It notes that advocates avoid a 100 cent silver dollar to prevent cumbersome weight and to push the public toward accepting a 53 cent value as a dollar, accusing uncoined-silver owners of seeking deceit.
