Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Tariff: Speech of Hon. Samuel J. Randall, of Pennsylvania, in the House of Representatives, Tuesday, May 6, 1884
The bill reported by the Committee on Ways and Means, and now under consideration, is a sharp 20 per cent. Horizontal cut of existing schedules of all duties on imported articles embraced therein. It is not based on any sound principle. We have had apologies for it but no defense. It is guessed it may reduce the surplus revenue likely to be collected in the future, but nobody pretends to speak with cer tainty.
