Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. Concerned with tariff revisions in the early 1900s, this book argues that the wool industry should be subject to lower import duties. The author emphasizes that a group of powerful protectionist interests, including woolgrowers and woolen manufacturers associations, successfully lobbied for prohibitive tariffs that unduly benefited their members while placing a heavy burden on the American consumer. The book's analysis of the 1909 Payne-Aldrich Tariff suggests that it made little effort to reduce the cost of wool products for Americans, and that it was intended instead to maintain high tariffs in the interest of the protective industries. When President Taft convened a special session of Congress to pass the Canadian Reciprocity Agreement in 1911, the House instead proposed revisions to the Payne-Aldrich Tariff, arguing that the earlier act had failed to deliver on the Democratic Party's promise of relief from excessive tariffs. Despite the support of the President, the 1911 bill was vetoed; however, the report of the Tariff Board commissioned afterwards to study the issue found no reason to alter the 1911 bill's recommendations. The author includes this report in the book and argues that it supports the conclusion that the 1911 bill should become law.
