Peach rate reopen case meets heavy opposition
Philadelphia and Boston interests clash as Pennsylvania railroad lawyers push to reopen the peach rate case decided by the Interstate Commerce Commission in March.

The policy debate dominates political circles as President and advisers weigh steps to curb or extend coinage, aiming to retain silver states in the GOP column.
