April 30, 1896 issue

add to cart   close window

This article presents information on various socio-political and administrative developments in the U.S. and from around the world. One of the significant development is the campaign for the U.S. Presidential election. The campaign platform for the Massachusetts Democrats adheres to the gold standard; denounces free coinage of silver and purchases of silver demands the withdrawal of the green-backs; denounces the legislation of 1878 for their reissue; calls for an elastic "banking currency," and praises civil-service reform. But the best thing it does is presenting the name of William E. Russell as a candidate for the Presidency. Another is the report on the success of the International Arbitration Congress held at Washington.
