In this article, the author focuses on several political issues around the world. It is an established fact that the U.S. Congress, under the system of government, although it has power to print the speeches of its members, has no constitutional means of compelling people to read them. The recent address presented to economist Stafford Northcote by a deputation of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce on the silver question has moved the London Economist to make a novel suggestion for arresting the further fall in the price of that metal, and the consequent disturbance of the exchanges with India.
