Amendment debates in House stall tariff bill action
The House opened debate on amendments to the tariff bill, seven hours yielding only nine pages. Democrats’ amendments were mostly rejected, with three small committee changes and an increase in white lead duty from 4 1/2 to 8 cents. A key but unparliamentary effort sought to suspend duties on articles shown to be controlled by trusts. The session mixed policy, party politics, and sharp exchanges led by Dingley and Dingley-era figures.
