Object Details

In 1888, Leslie’s Illustrated Newspaper provided its readers with portraits of members of the House Ways and Means Committee. That year, debates over tariffs and taxes raged in the House. The Mills Bill, proposed by two members of the committee, tried unsuccessfully to reform and reduce the high and complex tariff rates.
