Congress Adjourns Without Revenues Warns Sherman
The discussion, sparked by questions from George to Hill, centers on whether Congress should adjourn without sufficient treasury relief. Sherman warns of outrage and disgrace if relief is not provided, urges a nonpartisan measure, and challenges reliance on the Dingley bill. Gray agrees a revenue plan is needed and calls for broad, liberal offers. George offers to vote for a mixed revenue package including taxes on beer wool lumber tea coffee tobacco and Canada imports. Dubois notes five Republican senators who previously backed the tariff bill could be swayed by a nonpartisan revenue measure.
