Letter by McKinley Outlines Republican Victory and Policies
The 1900 public letter by President McKinley supporting the Republican nomination defends wartime finance, tariff reciprocity, and a prosperous economy. It stresses stable banks, reduced debt, strong revenue, and growth in industry and agriculture while endorsing Cuban independence and constitutional plans for Puerto Rico, the Philippines, and Cuba. It also notes foreign policy aims and the desire for neutral, lawful engagement with other nations.
