Smith's tariff critique targets Standard Oil in Europe
Washington reports Special inarraging the Standard Oil Company for selling petroleum at lower rates to foreign customers than to American buyers. Commissioner L. Knox Smith accuses the trust of extending its foreign trade while imposing higher prices at home, arguing the public gains little from exports and suffers from monopoly profits. He suggests Democratic leverage in tariff reform and cites earlier steel and shipbuilding disparities as evidence of home market extortion. An Alabama arrest of JD Brown, an army deserter from Fort Leavenworth, closes the item.
