Randall introduces tariff revision bill to aid tobacco and whisky
Mr Randall brought his tariff revision bill to the House on Monday. It leaves intact the privileges of Pennsylvania iron kings while proposing to erase tobacco taxes entirely and cut whisky taxes by half. The bill estimates a total revenue reduction of 95,090,000 with 70,000,000 from internal taxes.

Tariff, Trusts, and Veteran Pain in 1880s Debates
In a discussion of steel rail prices and production figures for 1887 and earlier years, editors criticize tariffs and trusts boosting profits. The piece cites Senator Ingalls attacking President Cleveland, defense of Cleveland by veterans groups, and calls for tariff reform while noting rising overall tariff levels and public opinion across papers.
Cleveland and the Soldiers
A political defense asserts that opponents try to pit President Cleveland against veterans. It accuses partisan press of spreading misinformation and inflaming war memories to influence the 1884 campaign, focusing on pension bill actions.
The Tariff Bill and Its Expected Political Push
The tariff bill reported by the Ways and Means majority aims for an 80 percent reduction in duties, minimal disruption to existing industries, and alignment with 1883 commission recommendations. It echoes Sherman and Dawes 1872 views that duties are now far above prewar levels, risk stifling diversification, and keep labor tied to protected industries even as internal taxes are removed.
