Description:

Event: The McKinley Tariff, sponsored by Congressman William McKinley, raised tariff rates to nearly 50% on imported goods to protect American industries from foreign competition.

Impact: It benefited industrialists by protecting them from foreign competitors but angered farmers and consumers who faced higher prices, contributing to political backlash and the rise of the Populist Party.
