The main issue that divided presidential candidates of the Democratic and Republican Parties in the late nineteenth century was about lowering or raising tariffs.

The Democratic candidates defended a progressive tax, and did not oppose the tax increase to finance the government.

On the other hand, Republicans favored a "fixed tax" (same tax rate regardless of income), and opposed the increase in taxes.
