Broadbrim’s New York Letter on Crime and Reform
A June dispatch from New York contrasts opulent weddings with shocking suicides and crime. It cites cases of a Prussian engineer’s double murder suicide, forgeries by a Harlem church leader, and child trafficking exposure, plus graft in indictments and a crackdown on Coney Island prize fighting, all set against Brooklyn reform attacks and a grand bicycle celebration.

Washington Letter on Tariff and 1895 Elections
Washington writes that farmers should study the new tariff and Wilson law impacts, noting the fall elections may decide state legislatures that choose U.S. senators. With 29 Senate terms expiring, Republicans aim to gain control to influence the next Senate, while the piece critiques Democratic tariff reductions and their claimed farmer benefits.

Tariff shift harms farmers as imports rise under new law
The Treasury data show farm product imports climbed across most items after the new tariff law, widening farmer competition with cheap foreign labor. From September 1894 to May 1895 imports totaled about 65 million dollars versus 27 million a year earlier under McKinley law.
