The preamble of the first tariff law has been made much of as sustaining the constitutionality of a protective tariff. In addition to raising revenue the preamble recited as one of its objects “the en. couragement and protection of manu. facturers.’”’ This first tariff bill, as all others have been, was both specific and ad valorem in its way of levying duties, but the average of the dutie® laid under it was only eight and a half per cent, as against 49 of the McKinley law, 53 of the conference law and 39 of the Wilson law. From 178g to 1516 seventeen tariff laws were enacted. Im the latter year the first distinctively protective tariff law was made. The enbargo and the war of 1812 had diverted large amounts of capi. tal and enterprise to manufacturing from the carrying trade. It js singular that this first protective tariff was favored by the south and opposed by the north, Webster opposed and Calhoun advocat. ed the protective policy in those times, but afterward changed sides, Next came the tariff of 1824, more decidedly protective, followed by “the tariff of abominations” in 1828, which was so high as to create a great popular revoit {of the against protection, very much like following the McKinley act f 6, Ol 15 iil in 1832, but high that the South Carolina nullific ation was reduced movement was which was Hen providing precipitated, ry Clay's for a settled by compromise tariff, general scaling until none should exceed the a reaction and duties cent. down of 20 per ¢ tarifi of the further reduce Then came protective 142, followed by tariff of 18 *d by the tari a time as if the Walker revenue ff of 18s7. looked for tariff question direct- was permanently adjusted in the Mr. Bl these ion of low rates, as (ne says in Years," two laws, that the q from politics, his “Twenty by uestion would be removed but with itg high tariffs needed for later, wat and the civil war came, revenue After the 1812, the purposes in 1861 and , just as after the manufacturers had command of the field War of and ordained high protective taxes, The Wilson law was the first revolt, but t was passed at an ur 1 The i propitious time and had laws is no fair test, average duration about four there uds for the modific of our tarift only it is safe to will ent dema years, and assume be aticn arg v before iod law that per lr Death of Mrs. G - w, | $ $e 57, and whic jon of wilde ynmonwealith, provisions.
