| | Tariff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A specific tariff is a tariff of a specific amount of money that does not vary with the price of the good. | | | These tariffs may be harder to decide the amount at which to set them, and they may need to be updated due to changes in the market or inflation. | | | The distinction between protective and revenue tariffs is moot; revenue tariffs offer protection, and protective tariffs produce some revenue unless they are prohibitive in which case little or nothing is imported of that product, thus resulting in trivial or no revenue. |

| | How Can Big Business Make Money from Tariffs?: Economics Lesson |
| | Tariff revenues were the main source of revenue to the federal government at this time; they were used to pay government expenses and to protect businesses from foreign competition. | | | The tariff must be paid by the foreign company to the importing government for each product imported to and sold in the country in question. | | | Students investigate the impact of tariffs on businesses and consumers during the 1880s by looking at a political cartoon, solving a short math problem, and comparing protectionism in the 1980s to protectionism in the 1880s. |

| | The tariff protected finished goods more than raw materials, ensuring that the margin of profit for manufacturers and industrialists was greater. | | | Since tariffs taxed consumption regressively, the government essentially managed its debt by transferring wealth from lower income levels to bondholders. | | | The tariff of 1897 enjoyed the most extended tenure of any general tariff act in U.S. history (the Walker Tariff of 1846 was second). |

| | Reader's Companion to American History - -TARIFF |
| | The tariff would be the most important tax laid by the federal government until the First World War, providing the majority of the government's revenue throughout that time, except during the Civil War years. | | | A tariff, technically, is a schedule of such taxes, but the terms are often used interchangeably. | | | A tariff can serve several purposes: like all taxes, it can raise money to pay the costs of government; it can protect domestic goods from foreign competition; and it can seek to force a foreign country to change a policy. |

| | Instead the tariff was used to keep out foreign competition and keep the cost of American goods high such that those who owned the manufacturing companies could receive a windfall profit. | | | Because the protective tariff tax was a tax on consumption, most people in America paid about the same amount of tax each year. | | | The Government in 1907 collected only $3,600 in revenue (tariff collected on imported agricultural implements), but according to admissions of Republican Senators the 20 per cent Dingley rate was levied in favor of the manufacturer on the $25,000,000 consumed at home, amounted to a tax of $5,000,000. |

Dingley of Maine, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, raised rates to an average rate of 49 percent. |
