add to cart   close window

The article focuses on political conditions of the U.S. and around the world, as of December 4, 1879. The opening proceedings in Congress justify that either party will touch the currency problem this winter beyond, stopping the coinage of silver. U.S. President urges Congress to refrain from new legislation on the general subject of the coinage, pending the proposition for unity of action between the U.S. and the principal commercial nations of the world. The relations between England and Turkey are reported to be easier, the Turks have made a concession by appointing Baker Pasha, commander of 60,000 gendarmerie, who will begin reforms in Asia Minor.
