Washington tariff fight ends with ad valorem gains
In the House the coalition of insurgent Republicans and Democrats toppled the Ways and Means committee on the oil schedule. An amendment by Mr Nortis of Nebraska set a 1 percent ad valorem duty on oil articles and passed by a solid majority. The countervailing duty on crude petroleum was removed, and the committee’s favored 26 percent ad valorem rate was overturned. The tea and coffee schedule was freed, barley duty unchanged, and the broader tariff debate shifted as amendments sought to alter the Payne tariff framework. The day featured a humorous clash between Messrs Stanley and Clark that devolved into a procedural dispute before key duties were finally decided.
