A 1896 economic article tracing the history of Indian customs and excise duties on cotton yarns and piece goods, from the 1894 tariff exemption through the Act of December 1894 to the February 1896 Act. It explains why the attempt to exempt coarse goods that did not compete with Indian mills failed, citing the 1879-80 'duty frees' experience of substitution of 30s cloths for finer counts. It also covers Lancashire objections, the exemption of handloom goods from tax, and the final uniform 3.5 percent duty on imported and Indian mill-made cloth.
