SHORT TARIFF HISTORY OF THE UNITED
STATES. Part I-17S3 to 1859. By David H Ma
son. author of " How Western Farmers are Bene-
flied by Protection" etc. Published by the Au-
thor. 400 w. Randolph ST., Chicago. Price, 10
| cents.
The best testimony in favor of this book is
that of Hon. John Sherman who says: 1t is
very interesting book, and l hope is the fore
runner of other chapters equally interesting,
and at this time most valuable. Such his
tory will be very acceptable now, when the
protective system is threatened with over
throw. Your statement Of the tariff policy
during and since the war will no doubt prove
that that policy has been so beneficial to the
United States, that il has largely reimbursed
the money expenses of the war, and has been
the chief cause of the very great increase of
our manufacturing and other productive indus
tries of the country.
