Tariff law lifts hopes as economy shifts stance
Washington reports indicate the new tariff law will not immediately cut prices as stores sell existing stock. Representative Underwood predicts effects will emerge gradually over months, with full impact on wool and sugar delayed for years. Secretary Bryan praises the tariff as a Civil War era high, while Me Adoo plans enforcement steps and a $100 million bond withdrawal likely. President Wilson faces currency legislation with optimism for swift passage before year end.
