Elected to the [[United States House of Representatives]] in 1886, Sherman was a supporter of high tariffs, as advocated by [[William McKinley]], a measure seen by supporters as protecting the interests of US producers, manufacturers and labor. Sherman lost his seat in 1890 over the high tariff issue, but was reelected in 1890 and remained a US Representative until he became Vice President in 1909.
