McKinleys Athens Speech on Silver and Tariff Policy
Maj. McKinley outlines Republican positions on silver monetary policy and protective tariffs in a comprehensive Athens county address. He argues against free coinage, defends the Bland Allison framework, warns that free coinage would hollow out the dollar and hurt soldiers and pensions, and asserts tariffs defend industry, labor, and national prosperity with examples on sugar and prices. He stresses U S debt reduction, pension support, and the superiority of protective tariffs over revenue tariffs, predicting lower prices and stronger economy under Republican leadership.
