President McKinley’s third annual message outlines empire and finance
The President urges sovereignty over the Philippines with rapid civil government, Cuba under military control until reforms, and a civil government for Puerto Rico with voter qualifications. He calls for Hawaii action, defends gold standard, and seeks broad power for the Treasury to sustain gold parity, manage bonds, and regulate trusts while preserving growth in industry and the merchant marine.
