Tariff Debate Echoes Mantle Speech in Senate
The Senate rushed private pension bills 75 passed in sixty minutes after two speeches, including Mantle defending wool interests and urging free tonnage. The House defeated a measure repealing coastwise pilotage as Grovenor warned against labor plans, while the District of Columbia appropriation bill passed 134 to 21 amid a Ward-Wittgerald clash over American Protective Association hostility to Catholic institutions. The Cuban resolutions await the president’s action as Ways and Means weighs reciprocity under McKinley tariff legacy.

Reciprocity Bill Promoted by Representative Hopkins
Washington April. The reciprocity bill from Rep Hopkins to be reported as a substitute for many measures seeks to increase and equalize US trade with foreign nations through reciprocal commercial arrangements. It authorizes the president to negotiate with countries exporting more than they import to secure concessions for US farm forest fishery mine and manufacturing products, without reducing current duties. It allows proclamations against discriminations and enforces high tariff rates on all duties since 1860 if retaliation is necessary, aiming to use tariff policy to foster foreign trade gains.
