A Scranton area notice criticizes the Wilson tariff proposal and endorses protection with calls to support Grow. It mentions Pennsylvania Republicans, political figures, and editorial rebuttals, noting opposition to free trade and urging voters toward protective measures.
The act establishing boards of health in all boroughs is frequently ignored or misapplied. Many communities mistake it for city only, though the law imposes no exceptions and requires action within six months after enactment in May.
The notice from 1808 proposes selecting five competent persons to serve as conservators of public health. It stresses explicit duties and proper conduct, arguing small towns breed pestilences that spread to cities, and urges every borough to have a live board of health.
The convention backs Galagha A Grow as a strong Republican standard bearer and signals a large victory margin in Pennsylvania. It frames free coal and resistance to free trade as central issues, arguing open Nova Scotian coal would harm American mining and regional economies while benefiting Canadian suppliers.
The document argues a uniform tariff to fund federal costs while accusing the Record and its party of hiding a free trade stance. It contends they seek cheapest imports and dearest sales, harming American labor and home employment, and questions sincerity on the income tax as a step toward total free trade.
The piece warns of a proposed act reshaping Northeastern Pennsylvania’s map favoring Carbondale lawyers and threatens possible layoffs for Scranton officials if the measure or related legal maneuvers advance. It condemns the statute as discriminatory and urges vigilance as discussions about a new county unfold.
Discussion bursts over renaming the Woman's Annex to Raidcliffe College and placing its diplomas under Harvard.

Institutions may expand co education yet preserve separate identity amid reforms.
