Partisan views on McKinney tariff bill split across papers
The Boston Journal and the New York Times both comment on Mr. Loner’s federal election bill while the Worcester Spy cautions that assigning political functions to judges would politicize the judiciary. The Journal’s stance on the McKinney tariff bill is noted as inconsistent, praising protection yet objecting to taxes on raw silk and hides while urging relief on coal and iron ore.

Increase of Railroad Stock Merits Public Sale Safeguards
Merchants of Boston through associations back a bill in committee on judiciary limiting compulsory public sales of new railroad stock. The plan allows issuing corporations to allot stock to shareholders at par or pro rata under market value thresholds, with Board of Railroad Commissioners setting value and ensuring full value for public taxation. The measure aims to block watering of capital and foreign control while preserving shareholders’ rights.

Merchants Advocate Equity Over Stock Inflation Policy
Merchants oppose higher transportation rates and watered stock to protect business interests in the section. They argue that increasing railroad capital beyond needs or issuing stock at par when market value exceeds par would burden those paying the existing rates. The Boston & Albany example of watered capital and the Old Colony case are cited, favoring a conservative, equitable remedy supported by the merchants bill. The legislature should adopt this policy as public interest dictates.
