The 1890s had very very poor working conditions. They also still had child labor where thousands of children under the age of 15 were working for a very little wage in factories. And the anit Sherman trust.
2 things I learned would be that the working conditions went noticed by the public until reviled by a reporter. I also learned that the public did not nessacairlly know about the child labor happening in factories. I still wonder if the kids ever realized they were being put through labor for very little in return.
