A New Ulm Review excerpt surveys Taft signing the Payne tariff bill and its mixed reception in the Senate with named lawmakers and opinions. It critiques the tariff as a balance between trusts and duties, notes Dolliver and La Follette’s opposition, and comments on fashion, climate, and international figures from Rockefeller to Nero.
The article analyzes President Tafts late intervention in tariff revisions, noting Aldrich's caution, potential impacts of removing raw materials from duties, and the difficulty of changing House and Senate approved rates. It highlights expected conference outcomes, the limits of action, and critiques Tafts strategic timing amid a complex rulebound process.

They cite world prices, German trade practices, and a push for parity with foreign mills.
