Minority report on tariff bill urges Eaton plan and tariff revision
In Washington on May 24 Representatives Garfield, Conger, and Frye presented a minority report urging adoption of Senator Eaton's tariff bill creating a commission to revise duties. They argue the current bill is crude, harms reform, and unfairly taxes manufactured goods like type, paper, and books while freeing some materials. They warn it would hurt wool producers and U.S. woolen mills, and include opposition letters from crockery, pottery, and other industries. A second item transcribes Mr Heap's dispatch from Constantinople describing Syrian famine, noting dire hunger, corpses eaten, and pleas for aid. The archbishop of the Syrians compares conditions to Ireland.
