Taft Sets Tariff Principle and Protection Policy
Taft defined the Republican tariff principle as a tax on all imported products competing with American goods, aiming to equal the production cost gap plus reasonable profits for American manufacturers. He argued protection spurs home competition, improves production, and lowers prices, while warning a shift to free trade would bring disaster and urging careful re-examination and possible reduction of tariff schedules to justify the protective system.
