b.

Explanation:

Answer:

The answer is B. Lower tariffs to extend more easy credit to businesses and increase wages.

Explanation:

The tariff levels had been a political problem before the Civil War, the high tariffs provoked a surplus of money regarding the Treasury. Thus, many Democrats had to ask for a reduction of them.

President Harrison achieved to make that the tariffs were more appropriate because he asked Congress to establish reciprocity provisions, and this would allow that the President could decrease rates when other countries also decided to decrease their rates concerning American exports.
