Honor the Pigeon in A Storm Reporting Tale
A historical snippet notes how a storm report would have suffered without pigeons. It recalls a quip about newspapers and the pigeon as a reporting aid, contrasting a hail storm description with improbably dramatic phrasing. The fragment hints at media history and language play.
Tariff Hearings Skepticism Over Free Trade Theorizing
Readers learn of tariff hearings where witnesses from Bermuda on onions and potatoes and American cement and macaroni factories testify. They argue that tariffs protect American wages and domestic industries, while free traders struggle to counter with claims of consumer costs. Cement freights and low ballast rates are cited as factors keeping American manufacturers uncompetitive without high wages. The piece contrasts Democratic staunches with a push toward McKinley tariff stability amid political squabbling. It also references campaign rhetoric by Neal and McKinley, plus broader calls from Southern legislators to restore Confederate-era claims and election rules.
