A Farmers Tariff and Its National Reach
The piece argues that tariffs protect both farmers and workers, not just manufacturers, citing Morgan’s era of protective duties on coal iron and sugar as boosts to landowners miners transporters mills and farmers. It claims higher cotton prices due to tariffs fund farming and industry, grow Southern cities and markets, and expand sugar farming in Louisiana while building West factories. It concludes readers in Morgan’s state would resist tariff rollback.

Unmasking the Wild Man of Borneo Tale
Joaquin Miller recalls how the Wild Man of Borneo was born from a begging sailor in Barnum’s show. The iron cage spectacle drew crowds of boys who fled as the man shook a skeleton, gnawed wooden bones, and nearly toppled his cage. Barnum’s death ends the act, though reports say he left a handsome windfall.
