Synopsis

Understand how tariffs shape prices, industry, and national policy—and why trade rules matter to every household.

This concise treatise examines the origins of protective tariffs in the United States, the role of revenue in shaping policy, and how duties affect American industry and labor. It argues for a practical approach to trade that protects domestic manufacturers while considering the broader costs of war, expansion, and economic policy.

• Clear explanation of protectionist ideas and how they evolved from early tariff acts.


• Plain discussion of reciprocity, free trade, and the middle ground that benefits workers and businesses.


• Examination of how taxes on imports and domestic consumption influence prices for everyday goods.


• Discussion of the broader economic tradeoffs, including the costs of war and government policy.

Ideal for readers of economic history and policy who want a grounded view of tariffs, trade, and national prosperity.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A pril, 1904, to prepare two papers on The True Method of Protection and one on The Tendency to I ndividualism. I have been able to give to them only the spare hours left me in a busy life. I could only bring them to completion at this date, Jime, 1904, and I have sent them to press without such complete revision and condensation as would be suitable, because if they are to have any influence, now is the time when the facts given should be known. I submit them for what they may be worth, in the hope that they may at least lead to a more complete investigation on the lines indicated, and in some measure do away with the delusions that exist for want of definition in the terms and demonstration in the methods by which the great body of the unorganized consumers of this country are subjected to privation under a policy now miscalled Protection. If the facts can be made plain as to the small relative number of those who attempt to secure profits by taxes on imports compared to the very large number of those who pay taxes that the government does not receive; and also as compared to the relatively much greater number of the persons directly interested in free exports and therefore in free imports, there may be little difficulty in taking the tariff question out of partisan politics and adjusting duties on imports on a basis of true protection. Such is the purpose of these two treatises. EDWARD ATKINSON. Brooklinb, Massachusbtts, U.S.A., JUNB, 1904.
