∙ 15y agoPresident Cleveland's opinion about the tariff was the same as the Democratic main line--the tariff was too high and should be reduced. While Republicans favored a high tariff, Cleveland and the Democrats felt US industry did not need to fear foreign competition and protective tariffs were not necessary. Tariffs had been high since the Civil War and government revenue created a surplus in the treasury. Cleveland backed a bill to decrease the tariff in 1886, but it was defeated in the House of Representatives. In congressional elections, those who favored protective tariffs increased but Cleveland continued to favor tariff reform. He felt it was unnecessary to take more money from the public than the government needed for its daily expenses. Republicans, and some Democrats who favored high tariffs, continued to push for tariff increases.

What was Harrison's position on tariffs and what did he do to support that stand?
Harrison favored protective tariffs to benefit American industries and farmers. As President, he signed the McKinley Tariff Act of 1890, which raised tariffs to their highest level in American history. This move was intended to protect domestic industry but led to higher consumer prices and contributed to the economic downturn of the 1890s.
