Wilson urges radical tariff changes to fit present conditions
President Woodrow Wilson addresses the Sixty third Congress in an unusually brief message. He calls for sweeping tariff revisions to reflect shifting economic life, reduce artificial privileges, and restore competitive, free-market forces.

The speech also hints at later banking and currency reforms and emphasizes deploying a careful, fact-based fiscal policy.
