Morrison and Hewitt lead new tariff reform push in Congress

The article praises Morrison and Hewitt as key reformers steering a new tariff bill aimed at lightening burdens and restoring commerce. It outlines predicted revenue changes, notably a 20 percent average cut on imports including sugar, and highlights the bill's early design with a prominent free list. It notes expected support from Democrats and potential Pennsylvania sensitivity to iron, steel, and pig iron duties amid historic rate figures. Governor Seymour’s New York unrest response is also praised as prudent and patriotic.
