Rate of duty on mahogany sparks tariff dispute
In Wasmurndoy Aug 20 Secretary Windom weighs raising duties on mahogany boards to 35 percent ad valorem or keeping the existing 2 per 1000 feet rate. The controversy centers on whether sawn mahogany qualifies as manufactured wood under the tariff and whether the higher levy serves protectionist aims or reflects legal interpretation.

Treasury Official Rumored Bond Purchases In New York
Treasury officials denied any plan by Secretary Windom to buy bonds worth 10 million dollars. Windom, en route to Massachusetts, said he would join Mrs Windom in New York and work as a husband not a public official. He would telegraph Batcheller for guidance. Batcheller reported an 8 million dollar 4 percent bond offer at 128 percent, which was rejected, with later acceptances negligible in amount.
