The Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported significant events on the same day across different years: in 1873, the Pope's precarious health led to rumors of his death after receiving pilgrims, while in 1895, local canning firms from Victoria petitioned the Canadian government to amend tariffs that gave American competitors an edge in importing salmon. The reports highlight critical themes of health and trade, emphasizing the Pope's declining condition and the local economic impact of international trade regulations on Canadian businesses.
"On June 13, 1895, an important petition was sent to Ottawa from Victoria, asking for tariff amendments to allow free import of salmon, a response to U.S. tariff advantages."
"The Pope received pilgrims against his physician's advice in 1873, leading to rumors of his death, highlighting concerns about his health during a significant period."
