Autograph Quotation Signed
Autograph Quotation Signed dated 2/22/1894.
"The tariff ought to be reduced, and indeed abolished unless it is
needed
for revenue for the reason that no matter how able & impartial
the members
of Congress are, it is not in the power of man to fairly adjust
the
conflicting interests of men by legislation"
Francis Barlow
New York Feb 22nd 1894
A great quotation in which Barlow gives his opinion
on the number 1
political issue in 1894, the McKinley Tariff which imposed a tariff
of 48%
on imported goods, which was favored by the Republicans. The Democrats
favored a free trade and a low tariff. A compromise of sort was reached
in 1894 with the Wilson-Gorman Act which reduced the tariff to 41%
but provided
for a Federal Income Tax (declared unconstitutional in 1895).
