“In general there is shown the most conservative scholarship. The immense amount of material consulted, the care in the verification of its vast number of mere facts, and the patience shown in the organization of the mass of data, calls forth the highest praise for the author’s scholarship.” John L. Conger.

McKinley, William. Tariff. $1.75. Putnam.
“The essay was written in 1896, when Mr. McKinley was governor of Ohio, and while the information he had gained as chairman of the ways and means committee was still fresh in mind. Naturally the legislative and political aspects of the tariff are the ones to which most attention is given. The author recognizes his difficulty of dealing with the subject in a non-partisan way, but states, ‘It has been my honest endeavor to do justice to all directly participating in the events narrated. It has been my aim to present as completely as possible a review of proposed tariff legislation since the close of the Civil war to the present time, as well as a sketch of the measures actually enacted, to the end that the student may observe the trend and purpose of the leading political parties in respect to this economic question.’”—Ann. Am. Acad.
