Abstract: This paper reconstructs the composition and activism of the Spanish free trade Asociaci�n para la Reforma de los Aranceles de Aduanas (Association for the Reform of Customs Tariffs), whose archives have long been lost. The Asociaci�n was created in 1859, dissolved in 1869 and reconstituted in 1879 as a response to the protectionist reaction. We study its procedures and arguments and link its strong activism in the 1880s, just when free trade organizations in continental Europe faded, with the delayed Spanish protectionist backlash.
