Tariff Bill Conference Report Sees Wide Changes Adopted
The conference report on the tariff bill completed yesterday sets October 4, 1890 for the act to take effect with a revised reciprocity timetable moving to January 1, 1892. It retains sugar provisions but allows suspension by the President, adjusts bonded periods to February 1, 1891, and restores most House internal revenue provisions while adding a $500 fine for tobacco sale statements. The schedule alters free list items, bounty rates on sugar, and duties on machinery for beet sugar and various metals and goods, with strong focus on wool, tobacco, and alcohol taxes and a broad set of boundary and art provisions.
