Cotton Men Demand Higher Tariff Protection for Textiles
Henry F. Lippitt of Providence and Arthur H. Lowe of Fitchburg testified before the Senate Finance Committee that the Fordney Tariff Bill’s schedules would devastate New England cotton goods.

They urged scrap of the schedules and a new framework to cover all grades and protect dyes in imported goods.
