Excerpt from The Tariff: All About It From Its Rudiments Up
"Knowledge of the tariff comes through long and persistent study." - Congressman Dingley.
The following pages are written to assist the beginner in an effort to acquire a correct understanding of the rudiments of the tariff, and enable him to defend the faith that a study may inspire. Heretofore, all writers have omitted the rudiments of this great question, and taken it for granted that in some mysterious way their readers have become possessed of this information. Just when or how this knowledge has been obtained these authors have never taken the trouble to inquire. Notwithstanding this condition, volume after volume has been issued that 90 per cent of the people could not comprehend. It was like beginning the study of arithmetic at vulgar fractions. Because of this widespread ignorance through a lack of plain, thoughtful teaching, the tariff has become an economic scare crow, and the yellow dog of politics. Everything from a drouth to a hobo is charged against it, and but few are certain whether such charges are true or false.
