In 1890, the United States Congress passed the Tariff Act of 1890 to create the McKinley Tariff. A tariff is tax placed on imports, so the Congress was trying to discourage the importing of goods from other countries. By putting this "handicap" on imported goods, they were trying to protect American manufacturing. The tariff had the benefit of spurring growth in American business. When it was no longer practical and cheap to simply import things, American businesses had to do these things themselves. However, the tariff was not well-received by American citizens because they disliked the way that it indirectly raised prices. Due to this lack of popular support, the McKinley Tariff was eventually replaced by Wilson-Gorman Tariff in 1894.
