Cause for high prices Republican brief attacked
A Republican brief assails the majority on wages and cost of living and argues tariff policies raise prices. Democratic Senators Johnston Alabama, Tarke Arkansas, and Smith South Carolina accuse the committee of data gaps and point to Great Britain and free trade as modeling, claiming tariffs inflate costs and harm workers. They contrast England’s free trade prosperity with U S tariffs, citing wage increases and price trends to justify tariff removal.
