Tariff debate tightens as senators clash over protection
The tariff question dominates Senate discussion with John Penrose and George T. Oliver leading eastern Republicans against western colleagues while Democrats from the South back protection. Officials warn the tax system must raise revenue and safeguard American industry, labor, and wealth. Governor Stuart reduces vetoed appropriations, citing taxation shortages. The state Democratic convention to nominate supreme court justice and state officials is planned for August.
