McKinley Tariff Foes Use Senate Finance Probe
A Senate Finance Committee move, backed by Senator Plumb, authorizes a broad inquiry into tariff effects on imports, prices, and wages to bolster high duties. The plan aims to gather data, cross examine witnesses, and produce a report favorable to the McKinley bill while avoiding strict transportation rate limits. The approach signals a strategic, pro tariff data drive met with some skepticism from internal critics.

Mail subsidy cost estimate by Judge Hulman
Judge Hulman of Indiana estimated the ten year cost of the mail subsidy at upwards of 30 million dollars. He argued the initial year could reach two to three million and predicted repeal of the subsidy in the next Congress amid broad anti subsidy sentiment. He warned that foreign built ships would avoid American registration, valuing American yards while permitting coastwise trade to rely on American builds. He noted the Pacific Steamship Company would benefit first if kept, while a domestic rival would lose.
