Tariff and the Trusts and Penalties for Monopolies
Washington June 2 Republicans in the senate Judiciary Committee discussed an amendment to the tariff bill making monopolizing or conspiring to monopolize a protected article a punishable offense with fines and imprisonment. A sub committee will finalize the amendment. The Finance Committee fixed coal duty at 67 cents per long ton for non-Canadian shipments and painting duty was debated with moves to keep or remove the 25 percent ad valorem rate. Internal revenue whisky tax reduction prospects dimmed as Senator Cullom indicated little push for a lower rate, with Republicans mostly opposed to changes.
