Bates and the gas trust question in Boston's race
The piece grills Governor Bates over signing last year’s consolidated gas bill. It argues the measure lets the Boston gas trust capitalize public increments and charge residents interest on their own money, creating a harmful precedent. It cites Crane era precedent of share-for-share consolidation and questions Bates’s knowledge and suitability for re election. It urges Bates to answer voters promptly.

Protectionism and trusts in the tariff debate
The article surveys 200 years of tariff policy and argues that modern trusts mimic Garfield's warning against protectionism. It contends Republicans defend free trade while tariffs fund a rising private tax, enabling monopolists to fix prices and exert control over the party and national economy. It contrasts U.S. practices with England.
