Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History of the Present Tariff: 1860-1883 This volume is intended to give a narrative of the growth of the protective system which now exists in the United States. It is concerned chiefly with the obvious facts in the history of tariff legislation and does not touch directly the more important, but less easy questions as to the economic effect of that legislation. It endeavors to state the circumstance under which the various tariff acts were passed, the causes which made their enactment possible, and the changes of duty which they brought about. These bald facts may be familiar, in a greater or less degree, to those who have taken an interest in public affairs during the last twenty-five years; but they are little known and not easily learned by the younger generation which has grown to manhood since the time when the high protective system became a permanent fixture. Even for those of the older generation who were spectators of the growth of this system, it may be of service to point out, what is not always clear in contemporary events, the meaning and connection of what happened under their eyes. No complete account of this important field in our tariff history has been given to the public. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
