Washington Letter on tariffs and politics in 1890s
Secretary Carlisle enforces tariff law, inspectors scarce, bonds to ensure compliance, and revenue projections show surplus.

Reports cover Kentucky politics, New York merchants, and a Minnesota fire, with human tragedy and civic commentary threaded through.
