The President's Message

William McKinley

President McKinley's message to Congress was read on Tuesday, December 5. The document dealt with many matters of vital interest to the country. It was largely historical and reviewed with great fulness the operations of the several departments of the government. The President's recommendations are generally considered as outlining the policy of the administration in the next great political campaign.

We make the following excerpts from the message: —

To the Senate and House of Representatives: — The fifth-sixth Congress convenes in its first regular session with the country in a condition of unusual prosperity, of universal good-will among the people at home and in relations of peace and friendship with every government of the world. Our foreign commerce has shown great increase in volume and value. The combined imports and exports for the year are the largest ever shown by a single year in all our history.
