 | | Tariffs on imports were intended to raise money for the government and to protect U.S. businesses from foreign competition by increasing the cost of importing those goods. | | | Western farmers wanted the government to issue more silver dollars, which would raise the prices for their crops; a larger money supply would also decrease the value of a dollar and enable farmers to repay their debts with less valuable money. | | | As a congressman he was known as a powerful speaker and a hardworking but very conservative legislator. |

| | Article 2 |
| | The goal of the 1890 tariff reform was to lower revenues--the U.S. federal budget in 1888-89 had run a $53 million, or 13.4 percent, surplus--and this, the Congressional leadership candidly proposed to accomplish via a perverse Laffer Curve effect. | | | On the one hand, the Democratic party believes in a tariff for revenue only, sometimes they say, with incidental protection, but what they mean is a tariff intended solely to raise money to carry on the operations of the government. | | | William McKinley, Sherman's Ohio colleague and Republican Speaker of the House, "accepted the principle...that the way to reduce revenue from customs is to make foreign goods which might compete with domestic products too dear to buy" (Tarbell [1912, 190]). |

| | Under Wilson's guidance and urging, Congress in 1913 passed the Underwood Tariff Act, which provided for a general decrease in the Payne-Aldrich tariff schedules and for an income tax to bring in sufficient revenue to compensate for any loss in national revenue occasioned by the lower tariff duties. | | | Although pledged to a tariff for revenue only, Congress yielded to the desires of senators devoted to protecting the interests of large corporations or trusts by passing another high protective tariff. | | | It also passed the McKinley Tariff Act, which raised the already high protective duties and resulted in higher prices for many household commodities. |

| | In Congress he became the most conspicuous champion of protectionism and the primary author of the McKinley Tariff of 1890; he included in it (at the behest of James G. Blaine) a novel feature authorizing reciprocal trade agreements designed to enhance American exports abroad. | | | With rates higher than the McKinley Tariff, the new Dingley Tariff (1897) also included the reciprocity feature. | | | Not a doctrinaire supporter of gold currency, McKinley initially favored international bimetalism, but when the British rejected that system, he abandoned it and in 1900 approved the Gold Standard Act. |

| | The Democratic tariff in 1893 had been enacted as part of the general revenue measure, which included an income-tax. | | | In 1878 he took part in the debates over the Wood Tariff Bill, proposing lower import duties; and in the same year he voted for the Bland-Allison Silver Bill. | | | McKinley's message to the new Congress dwelt upon the necessity of an immediate reyision of the tariff and revenue system of the country, and the so-called Dingley Tariff Bill was accordingly passed through both houses, and was approved by the president on the 24th of July. |

| | 1896: The Tariff |
| | In the wake of depression, however, even many die-hard tariff advocates conceded that tariffs were not a total answer to unemployment and low wages. | | | Critics argued that American consumers paid higher prices for the necessities of life, because tariffs established a high "floor" price and enhanced industrialists' profit, rather than helping workers. | | | That tariff proved unpopular--but the depression of 1893, which began under a Democratic administration, refocused criticism on the Democrats. |
