Democratic tariff debate echoes founders in free trade clash
A long quarrel over Democratic platform and tariff policy cites Jefferson Madison and Jackson to argue against protection. The text traces party factions from Jefferson to Cleveland and labels modern leaders hypocritical for invoking historic names while opposing their views on tariffs. It highlights Madison and Monroe era practices and cites Congress and states rights in tariff power. It ends by mocking Cobdenite critics and urging defenders of American industry to consult founding writings.

Remarkable larynx cancer operation in Boston hospital
A Boston Herald summary describes Carney Hospital performing a major larynx excision to treat cancer that would have caused total voice loss and death from breathing failure. The procedure included tracheotomy, removal of the right half of the larynx and right vocal cord, repair of the epiglottis, and insertion of breathing tubes with healing expected through natural tissue growth. A second note shares Burdette’s humorous piece on eccentric walking sticks and their oddities.
