Gord Londonderry confronts miners over colliery losses at Rainton near Durham
Londonderry presents 1805 financial records showing a £876,000 loss from pit work. He notes changes from an eleven hour to ten hour shift, coal costs rising from $1.11 to $1.62 per ton, and an $80,000 annual loss on output. He argues he cannot afford higher wages or to close pits without workers accepting lower pay.

Free coinage themes dominant in party conventions
The Colorado Republican convention endorses Teller and free coinage of silver as delegates are urged to follow his lead. South Dakota Democrats hold county conventions, largely rejecting administration candidates while backing free coinage and Boies for president. North Carolina Democrats swing solid for free coinage, with Governor Altgeld touring Chicago rallying for bimetallism. A long discussion notes Carlisle and Sherman positions, and a Georgia reader questions Carlisle's stance amid the silver push. Financial pieces discuss gold shipments abroad, currency impact, and Hill’s 1893 repeal views as context for current debates.
