Cotton Tariff Amendment Passed in Senate
The Senate voted 42 to 19 to place raw cotton on the dutiable list at 20 percent ad valorem, first time such duty appears in a tariff bill. Georgia Senator Bacon proposed 29 percent on raw cotton, provoking sharp debate as Democrats split with six supporting him. West and others argued the move would divide the party, while sugar and agricultural provisions were also debated and amended.
