William McKinley actually said...

"May it end without further bloodshed, and there be ushered in the reign of peace to be made permanent by a government of liberty under law!"

"Existing problems demand the thought and quicken the conscience of the country."

"We should not permit our great prosperity to lead us to reckless ventures in business or profligacy in public expenditures."

"Now they are sufficient for all public needs, and we have a surplus instead of a deficit."
