Porter Cuban Tariff Sparks Congressional Probe
The June reports reveal Treasury figures disputing the War Department’s claim that the 40 percent tariff on railway materials was propping Cuban imports. Data show US exports to Cuba for ten months ending April 30, 1900 totaling about 727,000 in railway goods plus 4.155 million in other iron and steel, challenging the claimed small impact. The piece notes Porter’s role with a Cuban railway syndicate aligned to the tariff cut, a link lawmakers may investigate.
