Jacob Schoenhof prepared a comprehensive table comparing duties under the 1883 tariff with those proposed in the Wilson bill. The analysis finds most items unchanged or only slightly altered, with reductions offset by free raw materials in wool, iron, glass, chemicals, and flax. Protectionists argue, while reformers see progress toward consumer advantage.
A New York World editorial questions how $34,000,000 in duties on $35,000,000 of imported woolen goods last year can be paid without burdening American consumers.
