In dialogue with the Jacksonian-Caution paragraph, an honest inquirer questions what to save fish, frogs, snakes, or men. Lincoln is cited on fooling people, while laboring men resent demagogic attacks on the strawboard industry. A local strawboard factory is praised for aligning with farmers and river sewers.
The Shelby Democrat questions political tactics used against Carthage Strawboard, arguing farmers in Rush county are not dupes. It condemns court injunctions, personal abuse, and insinuations as harmful to the region's great industry and urges voters to rebuke such tactics at the polls next fall.
Plans mature for a vast tunnel beneath the East River connecting Brooklyn to Manhattan and Jersey City. Work starts with a 70 foot shaft in Brooklyn, the route runs under the river, then under Manhattan streets, 70 feet deep to avoid foundations, resurfaces, crosses a waterbed again, ending in Jersey City. The tunnel will be about four miles long.
A long reader letter argues against destroying the Carthage strawboard plant over a levee breach. It praises strawboard industry benefits, cites local employment, farm income, and town growth, and contrasts with a harmful distillery legacy. The writer urges weighing economic gains against risks before torch or lawsuits. He cites national rail expansion and historic preservation as broader context.
