The Reciprocity Treaty of 1875 led to the flourishing of Hawaii’s sugar industry, making it and related industries, such as banking and transportation, increasingly dependent on the American market and the favorable terms of the treaty. The McKinley Tariff of 1890 eliminated the sugar planters’ advantages from the treaty and, in the following years, led to an economic depression in the Hawaiian Kingdom.
