Fall of the Republican policy praised in Van Wert lecture
In a 1879 Van Wert Ohio talk, the speaker defends the Republican party’s handling of finances, argues Democrats and Greenbackers mismanage blame, and contrasts Republican and Democratic track records. He cites postwar currency actions, debt repayment, and national prosperity while urging loyalty to the Union and warning against Southern secessionists.

Smuggling Whisky Trade Flourishes In Alaska Waters
The Philadelphia Times notes a lively Alaska whisky trade as San Francisco vessels haul Honolulu rum to the Sandwich Islands, dilute it, and sell in Alaska for three dollars a gallon. The trade defies Congress law banning liquor imports and arms, with a revenue cutter seizing a San Francisco schooner full of liquor rifles and ammunition. The vast coast makes full enforcement unlikely, keeping profits high. A girl left her bow-legged suitor for not liking to dance.
