A historical survey traces the Payne bill as the pivotal tariff reform measure, crediting Sergeur Payne and Sen. Aldrich with driving the final form. It notes President Taft and the White House influence, the march toward a revision favoring free raw materials, and contrasts earlier acts from 1812 to 1898, including McKinley and Wilson measures shaping duties and protection.
