It also cites political commentary on Lincoln and Hamlin, and a reference to Indian uprisings and a Carat ape casualty.

Reduction in Missouri grain rates to St Louis debated
Missouri state railroad commissioners held an inquiry into grain transport costs from Missouri points to St Louis on July 7. Managers of two trail lines attended to oppose a rate cut, but an agreement emerged for a wheat rate reduction of 1 to 2 cents per 10 pounds across the affected territory, averaging about a per car load. The reduction would take effect as soon as practicable, with orders enforcing it if necessary. The notice informs residents of the expected rate cut and ongoing concerns over wheat pricing.

Whip Trust and Tariff Tradeoffs in McKinley Era
A Rural New Yorker critique details a whip trust gaining control of rattan and raising prices under McKinley tariff policy. It argues protection boosts profits, not labor, and notes increased duties on tin plates raise costs for consumers while fostering trusts. It cites President Havemeyer on protection and questions if tariffs truly aid workers or only enrich manufacturers.

McKinley Promises on Tin Plate Tariff Fail to Materialize
In a speech to the Ohio Republican state convention McKinley hailed tin plate production but noted no full results from the tariff. Critics cite a census showing only four American tin plate makers with several more soon to begin, while trade journals concede most plants still rely on large existing users. The piece traces prior assurances by lawmakers and industry leaders, contrasting them with current production and export data across beef, cotton, breadstuffs, and grain markets, and highlights ongoing calls for market growth at home versus foreign demand.
