Riffing Notes on Leaders and Prices Across Nations
A column of vignettes touches on public figures and money from McKinley’s salary to Gladstone’s health. It notes Evarts fees, Duke of Portland subscriptions, and Barnum’s estate, with remarks on rail nationalization and treasury concerns. The piece blends satire with brief political and economic observations.
