Washington Letter from Dixon Sun on Congress in 1888
The Dixon Sun discusses the 1888 congressional session with over 6,250 bills introduced, few passing, and many details on committee actions. It notes reforms in press censorship, tax refunds, and treasury bond investments, plus political dynamics around Blaine, Reagan, and potential presidential booms as officials plan a trip to the Land of Flowers next week.
