 Wilson-Gorman Tariff Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is named for William L. Wilson Representative from West Virginia, chair of the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee, and Senator Arthur P. Gorman of Maryland.
Supported by the Democrats, this attempt at tariff reform is important because it imposed an income tax of two per cent to make up for revenue that would be lost by tariff reductions.
President Grover Cleveland, who had campaigned on tariff reform and supported Wilson's version of the bill, declined to actively support Gorman's revision, although he allowed the bill to become law without his signature, believing that it was better than nothing and was at the least an improvement over the McKinley tariff.
