depressing experience with Grover
Cleveland and a Democratic Congress,
answer the question. His definition is
illuminating:
A Protective Tariff is a Tariff up-
on foreign imports so adjusted as to
secure the necessary revenue, and
judiciously imposed upon those foreign
products the like of which are produc-
ed at home, or the like of which we are
capable of producing at home. It
imposes the duty on the foreign com-
peting product. It makes it bear the
burden of duty, and as far as possible,
