interesting correlation is that that right about when the tariffs dropped off as a large % of govt revenue is 1913, when the federal reserve was created and the Revenue Act of 1913 was instituted and shifted the majority of govt revenue from tariffs to taxation of citizens
even back then the govt was prioritizing foreign interest over its citizens
