Harlan on Money Matters and the Gold Silver Debate
A pamphlet excerpt argues gold and silver have value as money without official stamps. It cites historic use of metals, notes past U.S. acts on silver, and laments monetary policy. The writer urges repealing silver notes, coining all gold and silver, and issuing treasury notes payable in metal.

House Votes for Unconditional Repeal in Ninety-Three Drama

A long list of yeas and nays follows, with mixed reactions and a note on market prices for prunes and other farm goods.
