In this paper I extend extant scholarship on prudential idioms (Jasinski 1995; 2003) in order to analyze one significant episode: the 1824 debate in the House of Representatives on a proposal (developed by the Committee on Manufactures) to revise the nation’s tariff rates.
My analysis will demonstrate that tariff opponents (adherents to the Jeffersonian tradition of political economy) relied heavily on the prudential idiom of accommodation.
As early as his 26 April 1820 speech on tariff reform, Henry Clay defended a more Hamiltonian approach to political economy by interweaving the idioms of accommodation and audacity.
