Book Description

Excerpt from Speeches and Addresses of William McKinley: From His Election to Congress to the Present Time In this volume are presented sixty-five of the speeches and addresses of Hon. William McKinlby, Governor of Ohio, late Representative in Congress, and one of the prominent public men of the country. It has been compiled by Mr. Joseph P.Smith, Librarian of the Ohio State Library, and revised by Mr. McKinley himself, so far as the opportunities of a busy public life would admit. The selections have been made from several hundred speeches, delivered in all parts of the country, and indicate the wide range of topics on which Mr. McKinley has spoken. Especial attention is called to the care and ability with which he has discussed the tariff question. All his more important tariff speeches are here collected in a single volume, and it is believed that his arguments in advocacy of the doctrine of protection will prove peculiarly acceptable at this time, when the matter of adhering to or abandoning our present economic policy is the principal question at issue between the two great political parties of the country.
