Record criticizes Boston Post on trade wage claims
The Record attacks a Boston Post piece arguing the wage gap drives cheaper English goods and forces manufacturer wage cuts. It accuses the paper of hysterics and a biased campaign to steer workers toward voting Republican, noting several unfounded assumptions.
Tariff Reformers Gain Ground Amid Republican Shifts
The piece argues that excessive protection days are numbered as forces of progress rally behind tariff reform. It notes the 1882 tariff commission aimed to revise taxes and cites a North Adams cotton manufacturer predicting reform will come, urging Republicans to embrace sincere, reasonable tariff reformers.

Sugar bounties and others
A historical critique of tariff policy tracing Cleveland’s 19th century tariff contention to Adams and Hamilton. It notes Cannon’s sugar schedule amendment admitting bounties, debates over duties and their effects, and the view that tariffs indirectly fund favored producers. The piece recalls a 1882 tariff commission finding and Hamilton’s early methods favoring direct bounties.
Shipbuilding Tariff and Wagner Liszt Friendship Reflections
The piece argues the tariff harms American shipyards by taxing raw materials with no drawbacks, hindering construction and raising costs. It contrasts expert testimony with the Advertiser’s claims, and shifts to a portrait of Liszt aiding Wagner, highlighting mutual support and the tension between artistic genius and financial begging.
Blank fragment offers no clear headline
Fragmentary OCR text shows no identifiable events, names, dates, places, or organizations to craft a coherent news item. The readable portion lacks sufficient facts to summarize a person, group, incident, or outcome for a newspaper card.
Wagner and Liszt in the light of their frailties
A review notes public fascination with virtue over art, analyzes revelations about Wagner and Liszt from the Correspondence edited by Houeffer, and discusses the book as instructional or disheartening rather than merely entertaining. It cites Carlyle’s strict wife lending limits as a tangential reflection.
