Senate to approve sweeping tariff hikes on farm products
The Senate is expected to pass the broad tariff increases for agriculture with little opposition, led by Senator Simmons. A new sugar rate scale proposed by Senator Smoot will face Democratic scrutiny for possible price fixing and a hidden “joker.” Democrats oppose several industrial rate hikes, while backing farm parity with industry, aiming to cut other excessive manufactured-article tariffs. Key farm items see marked rises, including wheat, corn, beef, pork, milk, butter, poultry, potatoes, onions, and beans, with similar fruit increases.
