The notice promotes a weekly issue of the Tombstone Epitaph, published every Sunday by 8 C. Race. It offers home delivery in Cochise County for 8 cents a month, with a 400 dollar subscription figure mentioned and references to McKinley and a gold standard. It argues the county’s wealth lies in its valleys, not mountains, and predicts future recognition.
The Nogales Herald argues for policy shifts to resolve cattlemen troubles and criticizes the Republican state department. It discusses San Diego marshal actions, Arizona’s agricultural shift, California bread exports, and the impact of the McKinley bill on European workers versus American artisans.
The Democratic platform backs free silver and gold coinage while the Republican supports the gold standard. The party’s candidate says silver is not a campaign issue. The piece notes belief that Wall Street influence drives the national scene.
The article notes a shift from imported California potatoes to locally grown spuds within 20 miles of Tombstone. Estimates show 15 sacks daily at $3 each, totaling $45 daily, replacing county exports to California and mirroring wage costs for fifteen miners.
A report lauds Lieur Fownix for cool headed work in capturing horse thieves in the San Jose mountains last Friday. The essay praises the pursuit by the troop, notes the risk of government trouble, and lauds the decisive forceful ride to prevent escape.
