The manufacture of textiles was rapidly extending in all the New England States. At first that of cottons received most attention and played the most important part in the protective controversy. But by 1824 the cotton industry was firmly established and almost independent of support by duties. The woolen manufacture was in a less firm position, and in 1824 became the prominent candidate for protection. Between 1824 and 1828 a strong movement set in for higher duties on woolens, which led eventually to some of the most striking features of the tariff act of 1828.
The duties proposed and finally established on woolens were modeled on the minimum duty of 1816 on cottons. By the tariff act of that year, it will be remembered, cotton goods were made subject to a general ad valoem duty of 25 per cent; but it was further provided that “all cotton cloths, whose value shall be less than 25 cents per square yard, shall be taken and deemed to have cost 2 cents per square yard, and shall be charged with duty accordingly.”
