Emergency Tariff of 1921

Emergency Tariff of 1921

The Emergency Tariff of 1921 of the United States was enacted on May 271921.

Causes

Due to the Underwood Tariff passed during the Wilson Administration, Republican leaders in the United States Congress rushed to create a temporary measure to ease the plight of farmers until a better solution could be put into place.

Effect

The Emergency Tariff increased rates on wheat, sugar, meat, wool and other agricultural products brought into the United States from foreign nations, which provided protection for domestic producers of those items.

This measure remained in effect until the enactment of the Fordney-McCumber Tariff in 1922.
