Tariff Changes Draw Wide Input From Manufacturers
Washington December 29 The house Ways and Means Committee has received numerous tariff change suggestions from manufacturers and importers. Proposals range from ad valorem to specific rates, aiming to simplify duties and curb undervaluation. A British style manufacturing requirement for patented articles is floated. A cotton export tax idea surfaces but seems unlikely to advance. A ten percent annual reduction proposal seeks to limit stock losses. Coal and hides provisions spark debate, with a large petition seeking lower duties on women and children’s garments lace and embroidery. Rumors persist on freeing hides and reducing shoe leather duties while shoe makers seek protection via remaining duties.
