...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.

...America bimetallism has never had a fair trial, partly because of the small amount of specie in existence. The act of 1789, in making the ratio 15 to 1 enabled us to get cheap silver from Mexico and the Indies, but threw gold aside. It was underbidding the ratio which should have been upheld. 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...
