McKinley Tariff Act Declared Constitutional by Supreme Court
The U S Supreme Court, in a decision by Justice Harlan, ruled the McKinley tariff act constitutional. It affirmed the validity of duties on woolen goods and other imports though tobacco rebate clause was omitted in the enrolled bill. The court upheld reciprocity and sugar bounty sections as constitutional. Chief Justice and Justice Lamar dissented, arguing the bill delegated legislative power to the president.
