Letters to the Mice and Greek pest lore from history
A miscellany piece reflects on mice control from ancient Greece to modern times. It cites Greek practice of posting a formal letter to mice, Whittington's cat, Mars folklore, Napoleonic era tastings, and a Milwaukee anecdote of rats fleeing after a polite letter. It also notes Dr. Maclagan’s rise from soldier to archbishop and his stern, disciplined character.

The Dingley law and its burden on the people
A critical examination of the Dingley tariff shows it beyond the McKinley act in scope and impact, boosting average duties, raising prices for common goods, and enriching trusts. It argues protectionist policy harms consumers, increases living costs by 30 to 40 percent, and supports the growth of powerful trusts that dominate prices.
