Congress Tariff Bill Opposed by Editor and Voters
The Rockport Democrat argues for revising Congress by removing members who push tariffs. It notes Senate changes to a tariff bill, estimates revenue from sugar, wool, tobacco, silks, and beverages, and mentions a conference committee to reconcile House and Senate versions. It critiques prosecutions of the sugar trust and recalls Roosevelt and Bryan in the trust debate.
