Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

October 1, 1S90.-President Benjamin
Harrison today signed the Mckinley
tariff bill and Congress adjourned
after one of the longest sessions in its
history up to this time-304 days.
The Mckinley bill was enacted after
q long contest between the Republican
and Democratic party principles of tar
III legislation. 1t is named for William
Mckinley, chairman Of the Ways and
Means Committee of the House.
II the bill proves to be popular sue
ceSs-in other words. If the business
of the country prospers while it Is in
effect--there is no doubt that Mr.. Me-
Kinley will be pushed forward as the
candidate of the Republican party Tor
President of the United States. So ii
seems that the Mckinley tariff bill is
likely to play very important part in
the political history of the country.
1t will be recalled that President Har-
risen was elected to the highest Office
in the land, in contest in which the
tariff played large part, following the
term of President Cleveland two years
ago. Mr.. Cleveland was the first Demo-
crat to occupy the White House since
before the Civil War. Although the
campaign and election of 1884 did not
turn principally on the tariff question,
President Cleveland, after he had as
SuueQ Office, devoted Ills dIlSIlGlOIl
mainly to the surplus in the Treasury
and the cause of tariff reform"
The next year the Democratic
House passed the Mills tariff bill, pro-
viding for free lumber, free wool, re-
duced duties on pig iron and other
important reductions. But the Senate
was still Republican, and there the
real fight was to take place. Mean
time a new presidential election oc-
CURED, with Cleveland standing for
tariff reform" and Harrison for ''pro-
tective" duties on American imports.
The Republicans being successful In
the campaign, they Immediately set
about revising the tariff to suit their
own ideas. The Mckinley bill is the
result.
One Of the important features Of the
bill is the reciprocity feature, inserted
in the Senate, presumably at the sug-
gestion of Secretary of State Blaine,
under which the President is author
lied to impose fixed duties after treaty
negotiations with certain of the Latin
American countries. Other important
features are increases In the rates on
wool, dress goods, linen, velvets, etc.
There Is also an increase on barley,
eggs and potatoes. On the whole the
bill Is regarded as a high protective
measure, although some additions are
made to the free list.
