In 1890, ""the McKinley Tariff," which The Fascist Felon refers to ad nauseam, was a policy supported by Republicans and denounced by Democrats.
The tariff raised the duty on imports to 50%, as promised in the Republican platform. It was a major topic of fierce debate in the 1890 elections, which gave a Democratic landslide.
The tariff was not well received by Americans who suffered a steep increase in prices. In the election, Republicans lost their majority in the House with their number of seats
were reduced by a half. In the 1892 presidential election, the GOP was soundly defeated by Grover Cleveland, and the Senate, House, and Presidency were all under Democratic control.
