Defending American System Against British Policy
Senator Clay argues for preserving protective tariffs as essential to national prosperity, detailing the system's origins from 1789, its growth through 1816 to 1824, and its role in fostering domestic industries. He counters critics from South Carolina, notes economic distress precedents, and warns that abandoning protection would harm the Union and revive debt burdens.
