Banking Prosperity and the Warning Against Speculation
In a bankers address Weines Gav Vanderlip warns that speculation fuels panic and urges sound, frugal finance. The era of prosperity has grown from production, with banks largely sound, though competition risks fragility as a next panic looms. European demand for gold boosts US markets and farmers, manufacturers, and workers benefit from high activity and rising pay.

Porto Rico Hopes for Coffee Tariff Protection
The Porto Ricans expect a tariff tweak in the coming Fifty ninth Congress to impose duties on coffee, shielding their industry from free trade. From 1814 to 1914 the island’s annual coffee crop ranged from 12 million to 60 million pounds, with values from 1.6 million to over 8 million dollars. European nations tax coffee as revenue, and a U S tax could raise revenue while offsetting any Dingley bill reductions, benefiting the government more than protected producers.
