November 19, 1874 issue

The article focuses on the political and social conditions around the world. The inflationists appear to have founded what they call a "National Currency League," with a seat containing an anvil, a sickle, an anchor and an iron safe. The object of the League appears to be to push the measure known in the last Congress as "Judge Kelley's Inconvertible Currency Bill," or, more irreverently, "Kelley's issue of three sixty-five bonds." The new Arkansas quarrel is a burlesque of recent Southern politics. In 1868, a constitution was adopted in Arkansas, which remained in force till just before the recent Congressional election, when the Conservatives succeeded in having a new instrument adopted, under which A.H. Garland has been elected governor.
