Minority Report Attacks the Mills Tariff Substitute
The Senate finance committee minority denounces the substitute as harmful to taxpayers, arguing it favors manufacturers and retains high duties on wool, cotton, salt, and other goods. It claims the reform seeks to raise revenue while preserving private profits, with broader impact on labor and cost of living.
