Debated Free List Shifts on Salad Coal and Tariff
The 10th district representative Hale of New Hampshire offered a resolution to place salad coal on the free list but it failed as two thirds did not vote to extend the rules. Mercur of Pennsylvania moved to suspend the rule and place tea and cutlery on the free list, which passed. Havens was absent again, and the move favored protectionists aiming to shield imports critical to Syracuse and Saginaw salt works and Pennsylvania coal distillers.
