August 27, 1891 issue

add to cart   close window

The article comments on political developments in the U.S. The U.S. President Benjamin Harrison's Albany speech, in which he pledged himself to veto a free-coinage bill if one should be sent him, is evidently destined to produce a great effect in more than one direction. The effect of the speech will not be lost upon the Democrats. The situation for them is exceedingly simple, they cannot elect a President without carrying the State of New York, their only chance of carrying New York is on a sound-money platform. With a free-coinage plank in the Democratic platform, there would be no use in the party's making a canvass.
