Senate Debates Tariff Policy After President's Message
In Washington on Jan 4 the Senate split over tariff policy with Sen Sherman attacking the president's message and Sen Voorhees defending it. Sherman pressed reductions in internal taxes and surmised surplus funds could reduce the public debt, criticizing the administration for not lowering taxes or applying surplus differently. He urged broad tariff reform to aid American labor and industry. Voorhees rebutted, defending Cleveland’s tariff stance and proposing cautious reform, saying the surplus should be trimmed while protecting workers. The House then convened and reported numerous bills, including Oklahoma organization, land grants issues, and public building projects across multiple states.
