Sulphuric acid tax battle shapes district politics
In the ninth district a tax on industry is debated as Merrimac Chemical of South Wilmington emerges as a major sulphuric acid producer. The discussion links stock ownership, provincial ore sources in Franklin County Massachusetts, and a potential conflict of interest for an unnamed congressman. The speech by Mr Williams and remarks by Mr Russell frame tariffs, poll taxes, and federal spending, with strong Democratic and Republican exchanges.
