Washington Letter Highlights Congress Parley Delays and Scandals
The piece surveys a lethargic Congress in January 1907 with scarce tariff action and unresolved treaties. It cites vote tampering, a tobacco trust, bragging on reforms, and a Jersey cow campaign as odd electoral appeals. It notes Mrs Blaine’s divorce and remarriage rumors, Interior Department savings, and Treasury policies easing money pressure amid Wall Street influence.
