Democratic tariff bill proposes sweeping free trade and tax shifts
The measure cuts raw wool and most foods to free or low duty, shifts to an income tax with exemptions under 4000 dollars, and slashes steel rails and lumber duties. Sugar becomes duty free in 1916 and new rates aim to cut revenue by about 80 million annually. Major changes target wool, cotton products, and agricultural goods with wide percentage reductions.
