Tariffs in American History

The Constitution forbids taxing the exports of any state, and so American tariffs have always been laid only on imports.

Specks Hof in Leipzig ist ein historisches Juwel, das bis ins Jahr 1908 zurückreicht. Als einer der ältesten Handelshöfe der Stadt diente er einst als Zentrum für den internationalen Warenhandel. Die prächtigen Arkaden und kunstvollen Fassaden zeugen von Leipzigs glanzvoller Vergangenheit und lassen die Geschichte der Handelsmetropole lebendig werden.
