Answer:

American businesses lost money because American business partners also raised tariffs on American products

Step-by-step explanation:

The Fordney-McCumber Act was an Act that aimed to protect American factories and farms by raising American tariffs on many imported goods. The problem was that five years later the American trading partners also raised their tariffs which caused a loss of more than 300 million dollars to American farmers.
