William McKinley actually said...

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

"Whatever remains unfulfilled is a continuing obligation resting with undiminished force upon the Executive and the Congress."

"Then I felt constrained to convene the Congress in extraordinary session to devise revenues to pay the ordinary expenses of the Government."

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