Tariff talk spurs blunt lectured defense of policy
A fiery column defends tariff policy and warns against ill-informed public debate. The author critiques crude slogans, mocks opponents, and lampoons political and economic hypocrisy while railing against perceived special interests and urging fiscal prudence.
Autograph notes and pension talk from the era
A Washington Star item recalls Corcoran's autograph album with a tale of Rufus Choate, backed by Daniel Webster, who cashed a $1000 note and split the proceeds. The piece also notes George Peabody letters and pension discussions as Gen. Sigel pays old war veterans. A Brooklyn widow over 100 yearsold will draw pensions into the twentieth century. The column ends with a tout for Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters as a treatment for rheumatism pain and various ailments.
