Minority Tariff Report Attacks House Substitute in Senate Finance

The Senate Finance Committee yesterday presented both minority and majority tariff reports. The minority charges the house substitute favors private profits over public revenue, condemns class shifts and new classifications, and argues tariffs hurt the poor and farmers while boosting trusts and manufacturers. It cites cotton, wool, and steel schedules, calls for reduced duties only where revenue is not harmed, and warns free wool would shift burdens to consumers and raise imports. Beck’s supplemental remarks defend Mills mechanisms and accuse opponents of free trade aims.
