Origin OF Our Protective Tariff.

On the third day of the first ses-
sion of the first Congress of the
United States after the adoption of
the National Constitution, James
Madison of Virginia offered a reso-
luton reciting that specific duties
should be levied on all importations
of spirituous liquors, molasses, teas,
sugars, pepper, wines, cocoa and
spices; and an al valOrem duty on
all other articles; and also a tonnage
duty on all American vessels in
which merchandise was imported,
and a higher tonnage rate on all for
eign vessels. Accordingly the sec
ond act passed by this first con
gress, inspired by Madison, sup
ported by Hamilton, and approved
by Washington, was a tariff act
The preamble of this act declared
that it was necessary for the sup
port of the government, for the dis
charge Of the debt of the United
States, and the encouragement and
protection of manufactures that du-
ties be laid.n This act combined
revenue with protection, as every
successful tariff act must. 1t en-
bodied every feature Of the protect
i've doctrine. 1t had free list, spe-
cific duties, and adj valorem rates;
some goods were taxed more and
some less, and it Disseminated so
as to encourage and protect our own
industries. Both in name and in
form it was a protective tariff.
We are often reminded that those
were the pure and patriotic days of
the Republic when the founders Of
the government were only intent on
the public good, and partisan greed
of office did not hinder wise legisla-
ton. 1t Is well, therefore, to remem-
Der that protective tariff originated
with, and was first applied by the
fathers of the Constitution, who may
well be credited with an understand
ing of its powers and purpose. IN
der the benign influence of this pro-
tective tariff our revenues were made
ample TO meet the requirements of
the treasury, our manufacturing in
dustries were planted and fostered,
our national.credit established, and
our country freed from the product
i've vassalage which had SO persist
entity been enforced upon as -
colonies, and from which the Con-
federation was powerles' to deliver
us.-[W. w Curry.
