Tariff bill pass debated as Georgia votes with one exception
In Congress a third reading of the tariff bill prompted protests from Mr. Proffit Indiana who argued against haste and tax burden. The main question passed 116 to 101 after motions and objections. Wise attacked the bill’s title while Bidlack offered an alternative caption. The Augusta Constitutionalist notes Georgia’s delegation mostly supported the tariff, contrasting with Massachusetts.
