Foreign Trade Improves Under Ding Ley Tariff Law Gains
Washington reports show five months of 1897 under the Ding Ley Tariff law yield sharp gains in U.S. exports compared with the previous year. Despite protests by Britain, Germany, France, and others, foreign sales rose across most partners, with substantial increases in manufactured goods and overall trade led by nations that opposed the tariff. The Treasury figures indicate notable export growth to Britain, Canada, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Japan, and others, offset by limited declines with China, Argentina, and Greece.
