New Tariff Debate Shows Savings From Mills Plan
The Mills tariff proposal would save a farmer with fifty acres of wheat and a wife and three children about 155 dollars yearly. Savings come from tin plates, earthenware, salt, sugar, lumber, textiles, and miscellaneous items. An alternative is repealing whisky internal taxes, but far less favorable. The piece contrasts tariff reform with internal tax cuts, citing census data on duties versus wages and questioning the need for current protections.
