Tariffs
Hamilton wanted new tariffs in order to protect and promote American industries. He believed that imposing tariffs on imported goods would make American-made products more price-competitive and encourage domestic manufacturing. Additionally, tariffs would also generate revenue for the government, which could be used to pay off the national debt and fund other essential government functions.
Alexander Hamilton was Secretary of Treasury when the first tariff was proposed and passed. Hamilton argued that it was very important for the new US government to have steady sources of revenue in order to pay its bills and establish good credit with other nations. Tariffs were easily collected and not an obvious tax to most people. The idea of protecting fledgling US industries was not a major reason for the first tariffs but may have had some benefit.
Hamilton's main purpose and method of encouraging the growth of domestic business is by imposing tariffs on manufacturing foreign products across the world.
Thomas Jefferson and his followers opposed Alexander Hamilton's tariff policy.
