Gage and Critics Meet at Capital Over Russian Duties
The Illinois Manufacturers' Association delegation met Secretary Gage in Washington to protest countervailing duties on Russian beet sugar.

Gage defended the tariff as Congress's law, with broader cost analyses of Navy and pension outlays under the Republican administration.
