Protective Tariff and Private Leg
isIatiOn.

Protective Tariff and Private Leg
islatiOn.
In my last article / stated that
there were three kinds Of tariff
usually recognized. The revenue,
protective and prohibitory. The
Revenue Tariff is one which has
for its primary object the Cling of
the Treasury, from duties derived
from imports, and so adjusted as
to raise the greatest amount of
revenue without being burden
some on the people. A Protective
Tariff is one which has for it's first
object, the protection of domestic
manufacturers, by raising the du-
ties so high on imports as will ma
terially check foreign competition,
but not entirely prohibit the intro
duction of foreign goods into our
country. A Prohibitory Tariff is
one in which the duties are so
high as to prevent foreign goods
from coming into our country,
thereby destroying competition
and the revenue system entirely.
Tariff is levied and collected in
this country under two systems,
the ad valorem and by specific du-
duties. These are sometimes com
bined, as they are in the present
Tariff under which we now live /;
and materially complicates the col
lection of revenue.
Since March the I'd, 1861, we
have been living under the highest
protective tariff this country hiss
ever known. A tariff which has
received no less than twelve
amendments in less than ten years;
oil having for their objects, the
avowed purpose of protecting
the domestic labor" of the coun
try. And yet, not only is labor
depressed; but every kind of bus
mess throughout the entire coun.
try is suffering; and is most beau
tifully set forth in the United
States Economist, a paper devo
ted to matters Of trade and bust
