A Nottingham trial reports on M. Paul Gaffard’s gun using liquefied carbonic acid gas as a propelling agent. The weapon resembles a hammerless rifle with interchangeable parts and a reservoir chamber that releases gas on trigger pull, delivering bullets at short to long range with controlled pressure and a charge counter.
A wide excerpted critique of Mr. Carlisle's five propositions on silver and the gold standard. The author disputes each point, arguing bimetallism did not force a silver base and comparing global monetary systems, wages, and per capita wealth across silver and gold nations. References to H. P. Barline in Chicago Record and broader political-economic debate.
