471. The Dingley Tariff ,1897
The Republicans , once more in control of the government , set to work to reform the tar - iff in favor of high protection . Representa - tive Dingley of Maine was chairman of the committee of the House that drew up the new bill , and the act as finaly passed goes by his name . It raised the duties on some classes of goods and taxed many things that hitherto had come in free . Especially were duties increased on certain raw mate - rials for manufactures , with a view to en - courage the production of such materials in the United States . The reciprocity features of the McKinley tariff ( P .383) were also restored .
