Inheritance Tax Critique of Massachusetts Legislation
The writer argues that applying the collateral inheritance tax is a necessary premium on selfishness and that wealth should be taxed on all legacies to ensure equality. He contends abolishing taxes on successions is wrong and that all inheritances must contribute to the Commonwealth, allowing rich individuals to dispose of their fortunes as they wish.

President Cleveland Supports Honest Money Amid Currency Crisis
The piece recounts President Cleveland's letter to Governor Northen as firm support against currency corruption. It recalls a prior simple crisis when a Republican Senate backed free coinage, and the Democratic House feared the impact without the President's timely stance. The narrative contrasts Cleveland's advocacy with Harrison's silent, broken promise and the party line leading to a harmful compromise.
