Tariff fights and Pinkerton fears dominate late 19th century politics
A sweeping critique links patronage scandals under Harrison to Wanamaker and Crum, alleging racial maneuvering for Charleston postmastership. The piece attacks tariff protection, cites Homestead violence, and rails against trusts, Pinkertons, and political corruption, with Indiana and law examples. It contrasts Democratic calls for revenue tariffs with Republican protectionist policies and their impact on labor and wages.

Democratic scrap-book note on corporate power growth
An Epigraphic note condemns republicanism for lax enforcement of anti-trust style protections. It cites federal actions, or lack thereof, under Harrison era policies, and condemns the Samestead massacre as proof of governmental indifference. It labels the argument as valuable for campaign use and links it to the rise of corporate influence.
