McKinley Tariff
McKinley Tariff (1 October 1890) This measure was the first major tariff revision since 1883. It raised average import duties to the highest levels yet enacted by Congress: 49.5 percent. Passed shortly before mid-term elections, its unpopularity led to Republicans losing control of the House of Representatives (even sponsor William McKinley lost) and sustaining large losses in the Senate. It helped elect a Democratic president in 1892, and was succeeded by the Wilson–Gorman Tariff.
