Hawley Tariff Act

Famous quotes containing the words tariff and/or act:

    After so many historical illustrations of the evil effects of abandoning the policy of protection for that of a revenue tariff, we are again confronted by the suggestion that the principle of protection shall be eliminated from our tariff legislation. Have we not had enough of such experiments?
    Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)

    Each act of criticism is general
    But, in cutting itself off from all the others,
    Explicit enough.
