45) As the country weaned itself from revenue tariffs, policy-makers employed various protectionist ideologies to interpret the need for, and to shape the contours of, tariffs.
The ineffectiveness of the new tariff policy is also evident in the revenue tariffs level, and the state budget has suffered both directly (from the reduction in the payments of import duty due to the decrease in packed tea imports), and indirectly (due to the fact that the decrease in imports led to a reduction in associated legal business).
But as I have argued ("The Myth of Free Trade Britain and Fortress France: Tariffs and Trade in the Nineteenth Century," Journal of Economic History 51 [March 1991]: 23-46) and subsequent research has revealed, the distinction between revenue tariffs and protective tariffs is not easy to make.
