Explanation:

Alexander Hamilton's financial plan included measures like establishing a national bank, assuming state debts, and promoting manufacturing. Raising tariffs (import taxes) was part of his plan to protect domestic industries (American - made products) and generate revenue. Stopping all foreign trade was not part of his plan as he recognized the importance of trade. Lowering taxes for the wealthy was not a key element of his debt - handling plan which was more about consolidating and paying off debt through various economic policies.

Raise tariffs to encourage Americans to buy American - made products.
