A 1000 era broadcast notes William J. Bryan for president and Adlai E Stevenson for vice president. It reports over eight million dollars in gold bullion shipped from New York to Europe to pay British war bonds. The piece mocks rabid Republican papers publishing Johannes Hansen’s call for a middle of the road populist convention.
The piece discusses the democracy principle versus policy, noting Win J Bryan’s primacy beyond life itself and McKinley’s departure as a trigger for parties to realign financial interests. It references Roosevelt’s campaign presence in New York and questions around political diagnoses tied to Hanna and Rockefeller factions.
A quoted appeal questions war taxes growing by hundreds of millions, criticizes a party for blocking a wealth tax, denounces the gold standard, and warns of compulsory military service for youths. It urges the public to think independently and replace current officeholders.
The Baltimore Sun criticizes Hanna & Co for suggesting that American workers can be captured and fed like cattle or prisoners. It argues that guaranteeing meals to workers would align them with paupers and criminals, instead urging fairness without exploitation.
The piece complains about military strategies and calls for withdrawing Apicion soldiers from danger. It argues that American troops faced attacks from Filipino forces, frames the conflict as driven by gold standard interests and syndicates, and criticizes Tribune leadership as self serving.
A fragment from a political column labels McKinley as unfit to be set against a gun muzzle while denouncing concession on Alaska. It cites Hanna and John A. Dix, condemns flag concessions in Ching and King Johnny Bull. Standrod is criticized for court style, overalls, and a jail era African criminal remark at a Boise Republican meeting.
The piece questions import volumes and costs for Lin plate and tin products, noting historic pounds imported, rising domestic production concerns, and profit shifts to American workers and businessmen. It challenges Republican claims and demands proofs about tin supply sources.
The Philadelphia Public Ledger calls Bryan a radical free silver devotee, accusing him of inconsistency and aligning with Populists on ending the gold standard and national banks. It contrasts his abstract liberty with concrete license and questions voters about Democratic and Populist stances on monetary policy.
The piece argues that US wealth gained from the gold standard tariff and trusts enabled $76 million in loans to foreign powers in eighteen months. Disbursed as Montreal 63 million at 3 percent, Mexico 25 million at 5 percent, Russia 10 million at 4 percent, England 25 million at 34 percent, Sweden 10 million at 4 percent. It blames legislation and voters for the loaning to outsiders as false proof of domestic prosperity.
The Salt Lake Trilvanine reports on calls to continue pressure in China, arguing negotiations should proceed while maintaining troops. It notes Li has abandoned the silver cause and criticizes any withdrawal as dishonoring the flag.
In a tirade the speaker mocks the idea of holding ground at any cost and condemns the notion of expanding American force to the Philippines while proposing similar leverage in China. He questions the Tribune's judgment as it appears to abandon humanity for a gold standard, suggesting war prosperity as a motive.
The article argues that electric vehicles should replace horses to spare animals from heat distress and cruelty. It notes hot summers with thousands of horses, hospitalizations, and calls for banning horse traffic to protect human lives and advance humane transit. It reflects broader economic and political critique of policy, legacy of Sherman era fiscal control, and societal impact.
A Tribune column recalls Bryan’s pledge to aid the poor while warning that fearmongering and class agitation threaten the Republic. It argues labor gains, free schools, and rising wages show a thriving nation, countering anarchist rhetoric and political manipulation.
A fragmentary statement affirms allegiance to the 1896 Democratic platform from Chicago, calling for American control of money creation, reinstating free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at 16 to 1, opposing a national bank currency backed by government bonds, and condemning recent congressional currency bills as favoring banks. The text voices fear of perpetual debt and urges retirement of national bank notes in favor of government paper or silver certificates.
A cabinet meeting in Washington debates better roads in the Philippines to boost internal commerce, with emphasis on Luzon and a proposed extension of the one mile road by about 50 miles north toward Manila.
