Foreign Affairs, The Tyler Administration
The previous major tariff legislation in 1833 had established a series of rate reductions over the course of 10 years. In 1842, however, President John Tyler, feeling the pinch of a protracted depression following the Panic of 1837, reluctantly cancelled the last of the scheduled reductions and signed a new tariff measure. The Tariff of 1842 provided for upward revision, taking the average rates back to the level of 1833 before the recent reductions had been implemented. Tyler’s decision to sign the tariff bill served as the straw that broke the camel’s back in his relationship with his fellow Whigs. In early 1843, a number of Whigs cooperated in an unsuccessful effort to impeach the president. In 1846, with the Democrats in control of both houses of Congress, the Walker Tariff was enacted, instituting downward revision.
