Public correspondence on placards and tariff politics in 1900s era
Tuesday correspondence shows John W. Kern sought D M Perry’s view on posting prosperity placards in factories. Perry refused, calling it poor policy, noting business cannot be steered by parties and praising tariff revision debates. Vermont election results favor Republicans with Gov Prouty leading. Milton reports a fatality near Nichols Park. Vanderbayes harvest 50 bushel wheat per acre at over 80 cents per bushel, yielding over $40 per acre.
