Republicans Debate Sugar Tariff and Protection Policy
The House passed a joint resolution to fill vacancies on the national homes for disabled volunteers board and then debated the sugar schedule in the tariff bill. Republicans split over Cannon’s sugar repeal plan while Kelley, McKenna, Gear, Henderson and Breckinridge argued for protection and adherence to the Chicago convention platform. The discussion touched on sugar production in Louisiana, sorghum, duties, and the Mills bill as a middle path toward tariff reform. The roll of speakers reflected a party divide on universal protection versus partial repeal. The committee then adjourned without a vote.

Two Harrisons Contrast in 1840 and 1888 Campaigns
A letter to the Post argues that claims of resemblance between the 1888 and 1840 canvasses are false. It contrasts Van Buren era discontent and a chaotic coalition with Cleveland's stable, unified party, and criticizes the Chicago platform, branding it aligned with monopolists. It also marks William Henry Harrison as partisan in 1888 versus nonpartisan in 1840, and dismisses revived Tippecanoe rhetoric as unsuitable for modern voters.
