Tax and duty proposals spark lengthy 1783 debate
In a late May 1783 session, plans to tax weights and measures and add duties on paper and letter carriage trigger a long, contentious debate. Supporters claim revenue gains plus policing benefits, while opponents push wheel carriage taxes as essential to agriculture. The House adjourns after resolutions pass and committee reports are read, with further consideration of duties and taxes to follow.
