	Wilson-Gorman Tariff Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is named for William L. Wilson Representative from West Virginia, chair of the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee, and Senator Arthur P. Gorman of Maryland.
		Supported by the Democrats, this attempt at tariff reform was important because it imposed an income tax of two percent to make up for revenue that would be lost by tariff reductions.
		The tariff provisions of Wilson-Gorman were superseded by the Dingley Tariff of 1897.

	HarpWeek: Cartoon of the Day
		This cartoon depicts the passage of the Wilson-Gorman Tariff in August 1894 as a stunning victory for Senator Gorman, and a degrading defeat for President Cleveland.
		Wilson would have preferred deeper cuts, and the chairman had to make some concessions to his colleagues, but the final bill was close to Cleveland's goal of modest reform, reducing the overall tariff rate by about 15% and expanding the duty-free list for raw materials.
		On February 1, 1894, the Wilson Tariff passed the House, 204-140, and was sent to the Senate.

	Tariffs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Tariffs (taxes on imported products) were initially contrived for the purpose of raising revenue.
		Protective tariffs were raised repeatedly during the decade following 1816 as Congress was convinced by northern manufacturers and western farmers that their industries needed protection.
		According to the tariff, items which could be produced more cheaply in the United States than abroad, such as food, wool, iron and steel, shoes, and agricultural machinery, were placed on the free list, and rates on other products were substantially cut.

	HarpWeek: Cartoon of the Day
		To the detriment of tariff reform, Taft largely heeded their advice, which coincided with his belief that a president should not take an active role in the legislative process.
		In the Senate, the tariff bill became the virtual property of Aldrich, who was chairman of the Finance Committee and Republican majority leader.
		In 1883, he jumped on the Congressional bandwagon that crushed an effort at genuine reform, producing a wreck called the "Mongrel Tariff." In 1890, he was a leading force behind passage of the McKinley Tariff, which raised rates to their highest level in American history to that point (48%).

		Gorman had by this time virtually become Democratic boss of Maryland.
		His share in the Wilson-Gorman Tariff Act of 1894 consisted in leading a group of Senators, who, by adding over 600 amendments, turned the low-tariff Wilson Bill into a high-tariff act, as high as the act passed by the Republicans in 1883.
		Gorman, who had become one of his party’s leaders in the Senate, was defeated in 1898, but he was reelected again in 1903 and served as minority leader until his death.

		(A pure revenue tariff is a tax on goods not produced in the country, like coffee perhaps.) Tax, tariff and trade rules in modern times are usually set together because of their common impact on industrial policy, investment policy, and agricultural policy.
		The most notable is that they increase the price of the good subject to the tariff, disadvantaging consumers of that good or manufacturers who use that good to produce something else: for example a tariff on food can increase poverty, while a tariff on steel can make automobile manufacture less competitive.
		The opposition to all tariffs is part of the free trade principle; the World Trade Organization aims to reduce tariffs and to avoid countries discriminating between other countries when applying tariffs.

		Tax, tariff and trade rules in modern times are usually set together because of their common impact on industrial policy, investment policy, and agricultural policy.
		Historians and economists have always been perplexed, because every analysis of the real economic impact of tariffs has shown their effect to be rather small on the economy as a whole, of minor importance to the economies of different regions, and of substantial importance to only a handful of industries (especially wool and automobiles).
		It is advocates of these measures that usually refer to tax, tariff, and trade policy as a single and indivisible unit: Human development theory and the anti-globalization movement, for instance, focuses on relationships between internal and external rules, and on the internal markets of a state, and what kinds of trade relations they create.

		The Populist movement arose primarily in response to the 1890 McKinley Tariff, a very high tariff that particularly hurt western and southern farmers who sold their harvests on unprotected markets but were forced to buy expensive manufactured goods.
		The unpopular McKinley Tariff ruined Harrison’s chance for reelection, so Cleveland was reelected, improbably becoming the first and only president to serve two inconsecutive terms.
		In retrospect, historians believe that the election of 1896 was one of the most important elections of the nineteenth century and certainly the most significant election since the Civil War.
