Address at the Pan-American Exposition - Recording or Recording with Transcript
In this address to the Pan-American Exposition, President McKinley
praises the level of production the United States has achieved.
Of uppermost importance now, he argues, is focused attention on
the international markets for these products. International trade
will thus elicit peace and good relations, and further the American
goals which are rooted in "concourse not conflict." McKinley's
presidency was focused on issues of foreign policy, particularly
concerned with how international trade would affect issues of the
gold-standard, and later in his presidency, he reluctantly pushed
by congress to lead the nation into the 100-day war against Spain.
