Century Old Custom Message to Congress
President Wilson addressed Congress in Washington delivering the tariff reform message in person, the first oral address since Adams 112 years ago. He urged ending special privileges and exemptions, argued for tariffs aligned with current economic realities, and pressed for rapid action to spark free enterprise and competitive industry. The plan favours gradual, item by item changes rather than sweeping upheaval, aiming to boost foreign trade and national prosperity.
