O The American system of high protective tariff attained its fullest development in the closing year of Mr. Adams' JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.
administration. The Tariff Law, enacted in the year 1828, imposed a higher average duty on imports than any law before or si...nce. This high tariff, which was so obnoxious to the cotton-growing interest, that it received the name of the Tariff of Abominations, remained in force for four years, when it was greatly modified. Mr. Adams performed the duties of his high office with strict conscientiousness, but could not hold his own against the wonderful popularity of his soldier rival. In the election of 1828 he received but eighty-three electoral votes, while General Jackson received one hundred and seventy-eight.
Mr. Adams was the only one of our presidents who re- mained in the service of the public after his retirement from the executive chair.
