Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Tariff Act of 1890 Defended: Speech of Nelson W. Aldrich, of Rhode Island, in the Senate of the United States, Tuesday, July 26, 1892
Before entering upon a defense of the act of 1890, however, I will say that the framers and supporters of this measure have never claimed that it was. Perfect in all of its details; but not withstanding this limitation, which, I infer, must be applied to all legislative enactments covering so wide a field, I believe that all protectionists are willing to accept the measure as a success ful embodiment of Republican principles and to have the wisdom of the policy they advocate adjudged by its practical results.
