Whig Relief and Cotton Manufactures Tax Impact
The value of cotton manufactures imported into the United States in the year ending September 1841 was about twelve million dollars. A 10 percent duty under the Compromise Tariff would tax 2.4 million. The new Whig tariff estimates duties at 40 percent, nearly doubling the tax to be paid by consumers. The relief from Whig legislation thus includes an extra tax of about two and a half million dollars per year on cotton manufactures, with even greater increases on other items.
