Tariff debate stalls as Republicans weigh Mills bill
Washington May 21 The Mills tariff bill faces uncertain fate as Republicans debate voting without amendments. McKinley and Reed reservations persist while Browne and Kelley resist sugar duty changes and woollen tariff restoration.

Debaters Clash Over Tariff Policy in Meionaon Meeting
A Cambridge hosted debate on whether raw materials should be on the free list drew a large, cordial audience. Edward Fitzwilliams argued for protection, citing labor needs and East Boston imports. Harvey N. Shepard defended gradual reform and pointed to copper ore, steel rails, and foreign competition as evidence of tariffs' costs. Anthony Murnihan closed the session opposing free trade and warning against England's shift away from protection.

Tariff Debate Highlights Protectionist Critique and Worker Impact
