In a Pittsburgh chamber address Gary Cummins argues for tariff revision and reduction as a measure of justice to buyers of protected commodities.

The tariff on plate glass did not prevent price drops from 2.50 to 0.30–0.35 per square foot since 1876. The tariff helped nurture a valuable American industry that lowered costs for consumers more than any other factor. Domestic production uses higher wages, making U.S. plate glass costs higher than Europe, and concerns the Fifth congressional district urging tariff revision.
