Wages Here and Abroad in Fall River Tariff Debate
A Democratic rally in Fall River centers on labor and tariff policy. John W. Corcoran and William E. Russell argue that high tariffs hurt workers, cite Massachusetts industries, and compare English and American wages, emphasizing that labor bears the burden while wealth benefits. The talk frames McKinley duties as unjust to wage earners.

Mr Whitney's Argument for Elevated Railroad Route
Mr Chairman, Boston must act broadly to relieve crowded streets. He argues for an elevated railroad through a low-value property corridor, citing rising travel demand from West End and steam railways. He warns changing the line harms property interests, urges swift approval to ease daily congestion.
Extend West End line to boost Boston growth and travel
West End Street Railway seeks an elevated line extension along Henderson Avenue to connect cities and towns with Boston. Advocates argue easier rapid transit raises property values citywide, boosts trade, and brings outlying residents into the urban core, citing New York fare changes as precedent. The plan envisions depots at Summer or Avon streets and a linkage to Park Square, Old Colony and Boston & Albany lines, claiming public benefit outweighs cost.
