Horizontal Tariff Bill
HORIZONTAL TARIFF BILL
HORIZONTAL TARIFF BILL, a federal tariff law, effective 1 May 1872, that cut protective duties by 10 percent. Another act admitted tea and coffee free. The bill was a compromise that allowed protectionists to prevent more drastic cuts in protective duties. The reduction was repealed in 1875 to meet an alleged need for more revenue.
