The text argues high duties on raw sugar keep beet and cane sugar farming unprofitable, forcing abandonment of unprofitable cultivation in favor of maintenance-free industries. It notes cane sugar limited to parts of Louisiana and claims the tax harms the poor, estimating over 100.9 million yearly, with a quoted remark calling the sugar tax infamous. It also briefly advertises PAZO OINTMENT for piles.

In Hartford a charged hearing on Bridgeport’s water works charter plan reveals tangled identities and suburban versus urban interests. Fairfield and Stratford residents, plus local officials, debate city ownership, a sale by the water company, and who should decide the issue for Bridgeport’s 100,000 residents versus surrounding towns. The piece calls the scene peculiar and even grotesque in its details.
