How were Democrats and Republican beliefs different on tariffs in 1865-1914?
From 1865 to 1914, the Democrats led the call for a free market, low tariffs, low taxes, less spending and a Laissez-Faire government. Many business and professional people supported this approach, although—to encourage rapid growth of industry and protect America's high wages against the low wage system in Europe—most Republicans advocated a high protective tariff.
