The Week
July 23, 1874 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the political and social conditions around the world. The Indiana Democrats appear on the surface to have given displeasure to many outside Democrats and to have correspondingly pleased the infidel and the alien. They avowed, for instance, that they thought paying the bonds in greenbacks to be no more than what justice requires, and thus revived the Pendletonism of six years ago--a proceeding which nobody at the East approves, no matter of what party. The French Ministry, in spite of its Prussian character, has been passing through a crisis. M. Magne's proposal to increase the salt tax was defeated on Wednesday week by a majority of 106.
