Senatorial Tariff Debate Sizzles as Edmands and McPherson Clash
The Senate resumed the tariff bill debate with: Mr. West seeking rate cuts for iron wheels while McPherson and Aldrich argued over duties on wheels and ingots. Edmunds defended labor value against raw material claims, Vance pressed free trade limits, and Vest attacked Democratic positions amid party friction. The McPherson amendment failed and the George Bancroft Historical Association bill moved to committee.
