[GOPcapitalist]

Particular policies of note were limited focussed use of tarrifs against countries who do not engage in good faith currency and trade practices

You must be talking of a different GOP than the one in the history books. The GOP of the 19th century's second half was highly mercantilist and imposed high tariffs across the board throughout the 1860's-80's. Nor were these tariffs limited devices against so-called "bad faith" countries (as the Jeffersonian view of tariffs held) - they were overtly instituted for one purpose alone: government price management to benefit politically connected and protectionist industries.
