The Mills pushed tariff reform would take effect July 1 and cut about 53 million in revenue led by 22.25 million from the free-list extension and large amounts from wool, sugar, hemp, metals, and sundries. Internal revenue would come later. Morrison predicts broad opposition in Senate and among Republicans who may block passage.
