Washington dispatch notes Sen McLean of Connecticut faced Senate criticism for alleged political grandstanding over tariff policy.

The report highlights Somerville and Hartford carpet and wool firms thriving on orders, while Stone rebuts claims of widespread calamity. He cites Steffen and Sharpless Cream Separator cases and notes July freight increases at Altoona as further proof of continued industrial activity.
