CARCELY had McKinley taken the oath of office as President (March 4, S 1897) when his wrestle with the tariff began again. The country haf been through a panic and hard times during the preceding four years. McKinley had pledged himself to a new tariff policy. To bring this about: he called an extra se'sion of Congress, A measure known as the Dingley’ ‘Tariff was passed and national prosperity soon came back. « All other events of McKinley's first term are overshadowed by the Span- Ish War, Public sympathy was with Cuba. Spain's oppression of that isl- and had aroused strong feeling. Excitement rose to the pitch of hysterta whon the battleship Maine was blown up in Havana harbor in February, 1898. While investigation did not show that the Spanish Government was in any way responsible for this outrage, the people clamored wildly for war. Then {t was that McKinley's calm wisdom shone forth. With a furious nation about him, with the eyes of all the world upon his every action, he worked for peace. By every means that did not clash with America’s self- Tespect he sought to ward off war. At last, when every peace effort failed, he grasped and mastered the difficult situation with a power that amazed even his closest friends. The fears lest in time of stress McKinley might not prove sufficiently strong and decisive for the situation were once and ~~~~@ forall set at rest.

The Philippine Islands and Cuba had been wrested from Spain. What was to be done with them? Cuba placed temporarily under American protection and the Philippines were annexed. For annex- ing the Philippines McKinley was severely criticised. Whether his {dees on “expansion” were wise or shortsighted cannot be discussed here. Posterity alon? can answer the question {n all {ts tangled phases, in 1900 McKinley was nominated for a second term. Theodore Roose velt, who had won fame in the Spanish War, was named for Vice-President. Bryan again headed the Democratic tic And again McKinley scored am overwhelming victory. The preceding autumn Garret V. Hobart, the first- term Vice-President, had died. and from Nov. 21, 1899, to March 4, 1901, the nation was without a Vice-President. In 1900 McKinley framed America’s policy of justice and mercy dealing with the s arising from the Boxer outbreak in China., He also paved the way (by the abrogation of the Bulwer-Clayton treaty) for the Panama Canal. In September, 1901, six months after hi cond term began, McKinley at- tended the Pan-Ameri Dp Buffalo. Before an immense audi- ence on the 5th of th: month, he made a t speech—the last of his many great oration ‘hich w § applause.
