Washington Letter on tariff fights and civil service debates
Special Correspondence discusses the Dingley tariff and heavy amendments, the likely ten day report window, and a shift in focus from Democrat Republican clashes. It notes Corliss’s attack on civil service limits, McKinley’s Hawaii annexation stance, Justice Field’s possible retirement, Tillman and Foraker's unlikely friendship, Lyons’s Augusta postmaster bid, and gold outflow concerns to Europe.
