Tariff Bill Critique by Friends of the Tariff
Byron W. Houk argues in Moody's Magazine that the Payne Aldrich bill serves favored big interests while harming consumers and unprotected producers. He claims tariff reductions mainly benefit steel, lumber, sugar and other large trusts, will raise living costs, and leave consumer voices unheard since Civil War times. The piece portrays steel price moves as a manipulation by United States Steel Corp to preserve duties.

Fur Duties Tarnish Payne Bill Effects on Apparel Makers
The Payne tariff bill raises duties on fur dressed skins and fur garments, threatening 50,000 textile workers and driving up prices. Manufacturers push for relief as dyed skins face 25 to 50 percent higher costs and finished fur articles skyrocket. Consumers, mainly women, face steeper coats and lighter fur goods, while pressure mounts to protect fur bearing animals.
