Tariff reform speech argues to cut surplus revenue and aid labor
The speaker contends that surplus revenue from taxation should be reduced by revising the tariff, not by harming industry. He criticizes tariff protection as unjust, advocates easing taxes on essentials like coal and wool, and warns against adopting free whiskey repeal without state regulation and readiness. He cites President Cleveland era concerns, Massachusetts context, and the need for balanced reform to aid American labor and agriculture.
