The tariffs were not well received by Americans who suffered a steep increase in prices. In the 1890 election, Republicans lost their majority in the House with the number of seats they won reduced by nearly half, from 171 to 88. In the 1892 presidential election election, Harrison was soundly defeated by Grover Cleveland, and the Senate, House, and Presidency were all under Democratic control. Of course, you need to be able to read in order to know history.

Later things did not end up well for McKinley, but they did end up well for one of my "heroes" Teddy.
