Shall the Silver Dollars be Again Demonitized
A historical critique argues Congress secretly demonetized silver in 1873 and notes later actions to restore legal tender status in 1878. It cites figures like James G. Blaine and President Grant, mentions Bland bill coinage, and recounts bankers’ Saratoga convention claims that silver burdened government finances and threatened honest dollars. The piece urges scrutiny of the ongoing demonetization claims and the public’s tolerance.

Opposition to New Postmasters Demands From President
The Philadelphia Times notes that Republican senators plan to seek full reasons for each postmaster removal, but the effort may fail to matter once Congress convenes. Some 300 cases, likely 500 by December 7, will face scrutiny. Even if opposed, removals will not be reversed, as Cleveland appointees will hold. Some senators can be trusted to abstain, others oppose the fight on grounds of policy.
