Tariff War Fears Grow Over 25 Percent Ad Valorem Duty
Special to The Daily Item reports in Washington the Payne Aldrich tariff plan would add a 25 percent ad valorem duty to all products from nations that discriminate against the United States. Senators Shively and Hughes opposed the provision, while Aldrich and Smoot supported it. Critics warn the move could trigger a trade war, harming customers and benefiting tariff leaders. France faces potential market exclusion as the measure targets selective rates, prompting reciprocal pressure and debates on global tariff policy.
