Capper Champions Senate Tariff Rates Over House Plan
Senator Capper of Kansas urged in a radio address that the Senate tariff rates, shaped by the Democratic Republican Independent coalition, benefit both the East manufacturing and the Midwestern agricultural regions. He argued the act’s purchasing power raises farmers’ incomes enough to offset higher food costs due to rate readjustments. He said the tariff is not purely local and can be national or sectional depending on scope. The Kansan noted the 1922 tariff hurt the Midwest by forcing buying in a highly protected market while selling into a less protected one.
