Tariff Talk and Wool Price Forgery Debate
A reader questions a AprilAmerican Economist table claiming Philadelphia wool prices in March 1882 exceeded London prices by large margins. The World and supporters call the table a forgery, urging readers to verify figures with the Bureau of Statistics or Tribune Almanac.

It also discusses tariff effects on sugar imports, consumption, and the broader party principles in Democratic journalism.

He notes the lake’s storms, constant cold, and that water temperature rarely rises above 46 F. Many sailors cannot swim, and even accomplished swimmers struggle to stay alive in the icy waters.
