Frases de William McKinley

William McKinley fue el vigésimo quinto presidente de los Estados Unidos, y el último veterano de la Guerra Civil que alcanzó ese cargo.

Durante la década de 1880 fue un importante miembro del Partido Republicano. Como congresista, fue responsable del incremento de los aranceles a las importaciones , como medida de prosperidad. En su candidatura a las elecciones presidenciales de 1896 promovió el pluralismo entre los grupos étnicos. Su campaña fue diseñada por Mark Hanna, quien introdujo nuevas técnicas de publicidad que revolucionaron las campañas políticas, y venció al demócrata William Jennings Bryan. Con su mandato comenzó un período de dominio republicano, en el que se fomentó la actividad mercantil. Estados Unidos, además, se convirtió en una potencia mundial tras su victoria en la Guerra hispano-estadounidense. Esto permitió a McKinley volver a ser elegido presidente en 1900 tras otra intensa campaña también frente a Bryan. En lo referente a política internacional apoyó la independencia de Cuba; la guerra con España le dio a Estados Unidos el control de Puerto Rico, Guam y Filipinas.

El 6 de septiembre de 1901 fue tiroteado por el anarquista Leon Czolgosz. Falleció ocho días después y se convirtió en el tercer presidente asesinado en el cargo, tras Abraham Lincoln y James Abram Garfield. Fue sucedido por Theodore Roosevelt. Wikipedia

“Under free trade the trader is the master and the producer the slave. Protection is but the law of nature, the law of self-preservation, of self-development, of securing the highest and best destiny of the race of man. [It is said] that protection is immoral…. Why, if protection builds up and elevates 63,000,000 [the U. S. population] of people, the influence of those 63,000,000 of people elevates the rest of the world. We cannot take a step in the pathway of progress without benefiting mankind everywhere. Well, they say, "Buy where you can buy the cheapest"…. Of course, that applies to labor as to everything else. Let me give you a maxim that is a thousand times better than that, and it is the protection maxim: "Buy where you can pay the easiest."”

He was a good friend of the people, a genuine democrat in the best sense of the word. With regard to Mexico, President McKinley had ever evidenced such friendly sentiments that his death will be mourned in this country hardly less keenly than in the United States.”
