Answer:

The Underwood-Simmons Tariff lowered the average tariff and hence was supported by Wilson.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Revenue Act of 1913, commonly known as the Underwood-Simmons Tariff, was a Congress act that enacted two major provisions: it lowered the average tariffs (taxes on exports and imports) from 40% to 26%, and reestablished a federal income tax for high earning individuals. President Woodrow Wilson considered high tariffs were too much of a burden on consumers, and one of his priorities upon taking office was lowering tariffs. Thus, Wilson was a major supporter of the bill, and signed it into law on 13 October, 1913.
