...first man at bat knocked a fly to Dean, and then Robinson struck out. At this point Harvard held the lead, three to two and Brown had only one more inning to play. Lauder then hit an easy grounder to Clarkson who fielded the ball slowly and then threw poorly to first. A moment later Paine caught Lauder napping off first but when Stevenson turned to throw to second, Clarkson was not covering the base. Two chances had then been offered to retire the side. The next man hit safely and on another slow play by Clarkson the bases were...

Again the act of 1834, the "Gold Bill," as it was called, making the ratio 16 to 1, went to the other extreme and drove all the silver out of the country. The United States acting merely for itself, instead of joining forces with France, made...
