ton raised tariffs in 1861 and
again in go and "a.
In 1872 the partisan pattern was
broken when the Republican Ad-
ministration of Grant reduced a
number of important schedules
The climb was resumed in 1874
when part of the reductions were
set aside. 1t continued in 1882
under the Republican Arthur.
Cleveland, in his first Administra-
ton, tried unsuccessfully for re-
auctions. Instead, in 1890. Ben
Jamin Harrison approved the Nc
klnley tariff, with many impor-
tant increases.
By 1894 Cleveland was back in
the White House, this time with
control of Congress, and with a
pledge in the party platform to
revise the tariff downward. The
promise was kept in spite of the
panic of 1893, but reductions were
not sweeping.
The Dingley tariff of the Nc
Kinley Administration started the
march upward again. 1t was fol-
lowed by the Payne Aldrich tariff
under Taft.
WOODROW WILSON'S Ad-
W ministration lowered rates
after one of the most sensational
lobby Investigations in history.
With the shift to Harding. plans
for boosting the tariff were set on
foot Immediately and in 1922 the
Fordney-McCumber tariff bill be-
came law.
Herbert Hoover denounced the
locust swarm Of lobbyists" that
lowered around Washington in
1880 but he signed the Smoot-
Hawley bill with the highest rates
ever fixed by this country: rates
which called forth immediate re-
taliation by almost every country
with which the United States
trades.
The New Deal used its prestige
to demand a sweeping change in
tariff making methods, and the
result was the reciprocal bargain
ing act of 1884. Other trade agree
ments have been made under this
act. but the Canadian agreement
is by far the most important.
On its success or failure will
PROBABLY depend the future of the
Roosevelt policy.
