1 oct. 1890 - McKinley Tariff

Description:

The Tariff Act of 1890, commonly called the McKinley Tariff, was an act of the United States Congress, framed by then Representative William McKinley, that became law on October 1, 1890. ... The McKinley Tariff was replaced with the Wilson–Gorman Tariff Act in 1894, which lowered tariff rates. After 450 amendments, the Tariff Act of 1890 was passed and increased average duties across all imports from 38% to 49.5%. McKinley was known as the "Napoleon of Protection," and rates were raised on some goods and lowered on others, always in an attempt to protect American manufacturing interests.
