Costly Harrison Administration Compared With Earlier Ones
The Harrison administration is described as the costliest in U.S. history with about $7 per person or $35 per family annually, vs Cleveland at $0.86 per person and Garfield-Arthur at $6.43 per person. The figures show Harrison’s per capita costs rose 9 percent above Garfield-Arthur and total costs rose over 30 percent, marking a sharp expenditure increase per head and per year. The comparison aims to highlight Harrison's extravagance and radicalism as costly.

The article notes House figure comparisons by Mr. Holman, showing the site session appropriations were over 33.5 million dollars less than the prior session when no river and harbor bill passed.

Dockery and Sayers compare Democratic administration expenditures with prior and subsequent administrations, arguing the figures undermine Republican campaign claims.

A Miracle Worker The McKinley Tariff Debate
The Louisville Courier Journal argues against tariffs by tracing the protectionist claim that tariffs keep prices high.
