Puffing Politicians and a Tariff Row in the Nation
The piece rails at Washington press culture and public wives, mocking political pageantry and flunkeyism. It contrasts Hancock era buzz with Cleveland times, lampooning lavish coverage of officials while urging decency and restraint. It also offers farm and horticulture tips like pruning and spraying apples and cabbage guidance.

History of the Silver Dollar and the Wall Street Critique
Curtis S. Clark argues that bankers and Wall Street exploit the silver issue to hurt workers. He traces the 1792 mint act, ratio shifts to 16 to 1, and 1873 demonetization, blaming John Sherman and Congress for debasing silver and boosting gold. He cites policies from 1837 1853 1884 and claims unlimited coinage would restore silver’s value and protect farmers.
