Search ( Enter the name of an historical figure, event or issue) William McKinley William McKinley was born the seventh of nine children to Scots-Irish parents in Niles, Ohio, a small community near the Pennsylvania border. McKinley grew up in Poland, near Youngstown, where the family had moved to improve educational opportunities. McKinley attended Allegheny College in Meadville, Pennsylvania, but his studies were cut short by illness. After regaining his health, he worked for a short time as a teacher. In 1861, McKinley volunteered for service in the Union army. He served under the command of Rutherford B. Hayes and was cited for valor under fire. Following the war, McKinley studied law under a judge in Youngstown and later at a law school in New York. He was admitted to the Ohio bar in 1867. McKinley made his initial foray into politics in 1869, when he ran successfully as a Republican for the position of prosecuting attorney for Stark County. From 1877 to 1891, with one brief interruption, McKinley served in the House of Representatives and made a reputation for staunch support of protective tariffs . He lost a bid for the speakership, but gained the chairmanship of the House Ways and Means Committee. From that powerful position he managed to maneuver the passage of the

United States Presidents' Inaugural Speeches by United States Presidents Terms Contents George Washington George Washington II ... Oath William McKinley First Inaugural Address HURSDAY, MARCH 4, 1897 A Civil War officer, and a Governor and Congressman from Ohio, Mr. McKinley took the oath on a platform erected on the north East Front steps at the Capitol. It was administered by Chief Justice Melville Fuller. The Republican had defeated Democrat William Jennings Bryan on the issue of the gold standard in the currency. Thomas Edison's new motion picture camera captured the events, and his gramophone recorded the address. The inaugural ball was held in the Pension Building. Fellow-Citizens: In obedience to the will of the people, and in their presence, by the authority vested in me by this oath, I assume the arduous and responsible duties of President of the United States, relying upon the support of my countrymen and invoking the guidance of Almighty God. Our faith teaches that there is no safer reliance than upon the God of our fathers, who has so singularly favored the American people in every national trial, and who will not forsake us so long as we obey His commandments and walk humbly in His footsteps. The question of international bimetallism will have early and earnest attention. It will be my constant endeavor to secure it by co-operation with the other great commercial powers of the world. Until that condition is realized when the parity between our gold and silver money springs from and is supported by the relative value of the two metals, the value of the silver already coined and of that which may hereafter be coined, must be kept constantly at par with gold by every resource at our command. The credit of the Government, the integrity of its currency, and the inviolability of its obligations must be preserved. This was the commanding verdict of the people, and it will not be unheeded.

Oath William McKinley II Second Inaugural Address ONDAY, MARCH 4, 1901 The second inauguration was a patriotic celebration of the successes of the recently concluded Spanish American War. The new Vice President, Theodore Roosevelt, was a popular figure from the War. President McKinley again had defeated William Jennings Bryan, but the campaign issue was American expansionism overseas. Chief Justice Melville Fuller administered the oath of office on a covered platform erected in front of the East Portico of the Capitol. The parade featured soldiers from the campaigns in Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines. An inaugural ball was held that evening in the Pension Building. My Fellow-Citizens: When we assembled here on the 4th of March, 1897, there was great anxiety with regard to our currency and credit. None exists now. Then our Treasury receipts were inadequate to meet the current obligations of the Government. Now they are sufficient for all public needs, and we have a surplus instead of a deficit. Then I felt constrained to convene the Congress in extraordinary session to devise revenues to pay the ordinary expenses of the Government. Now I have the satisfaction to announce that the Congress just closed has reduced taxation in the sum of $41,000,000. Then there was deep solicitude because of the long depression in our manufacturing, mining, agricultural, and mercantile industries and the consequent distress of our laboring population. Now every avenue of production is crowded with activity, labor is well employed, and American products find good markets at home and abroad.

Our faith teaches that there is no safer reliance than upon the God of our fathers, who has so singularly favored the American people in every national trial, and who will not forsake us so long as we obey His commandments and walk humbly in His footsteps.

The credit of the Government, the integrity of its currency, and the inviolability of its obligations must be preserved. This was the commanding verdict of the people, and it will not be unheeded. In the revision of the tariff especial attention should be given to the re-enactment and extension of the reciprocity principle of the law of 1890, under which so great a stimulus was given to our foreign trade in new and advantageous markets for our surplus agricultural and manufactured products. The brief trial given this legislation amply justifies a further experiment and additional discretionary power in the making of commercial treaties, the end in view always to be the opening up of new markets for the products of our country, by granting concessions to the products of other lands that we need and cannot produce ourselves, and which do not involve any loss of labor to our own people, but tend to increase their employment.

Canton, Ohio, is proud to have been home to one of eight Ohio presidents from 1867 to 1923. (The other seven are; William Henry Harrison, Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, James A. Garfield, Benjamin Harrison, William Howard Taft, and Warren G. Harding) Born in Niles, Ohio, It was from his Canton home that William McKinley built his career as lawyer, prosecuting attorney, congressman, governor and president. William McKinley and his wife, Ida Saxton McKinley of Canton, spent many years of their married lives living in the Saxton family home which now serves as the home of the National First Ladies Library, located at 331 Market Avenue South. They later owned a home at 723 Market Avenue North, which is no longer in existence. It was to the Market Avenue North home that the McKinley's were planning to return after the second presidential term when assassin Leon Czolgosz took the president's life in Buffalo, New York. The McKinley National Memorial is a classic and beautiful memorial to the president and his family, who are entombed here. The Ramsayer Research Library of the Museum holds a wealth of information about McKinley's personal and professional life. Photographs, correspondence, books, magazines and papers are available for research here. The Library recently converted reels of film of the McKinley papers from the Library of Congress to more accessible CD Rom format. An online catalogue will help researchers review what is available in the Ramsayer Library from their own online computers. Genealogy records in the Ramsayer Research collection have helped many families find their Stark County roots. Library staff is on hand to help patrons with their research. There is a fee for some services.
