Washington tariff plan aims to cut revenue by sixty two million
Washington dispatch outlines an administration tariff bill to be reviewed by Ways and Means after the holidays, proposing a 62 million annual revenue reduction. About 50 million from duty cuts on manufactures and 12 million from adding wool coal salt lumber to free list. Specific duties replace ad valorem where enforcement is weak, with major changes in glass ware metals and wool schedules. The Hewitt plan reforms customs administration, and hearings are expected to be brief. House leadership contemplates announcing committee memberships before recess.
