Dingley Act
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dingley Act of 1897 (ch. 11, 30 Stat. 151, July 24, 1897), introduced by U.S. Representative Nelson Dingley, Jr. of Maine, raised tariffs in United States to counteract the Wilson-Gorman Tariff Act of 1894, which had lowered rates.
Under the Act, tariff rates reached a new high, averaging 46.5%, and in some cases up to 57%. The Republican President William McKinley fully supported the bill.
The Dingley Act remained in effect until the Payne-Aldrich Tariff Act of 1909.
