The Real Issue / McKinley. 1896.
William McKinley, the 25th United States President, stands in front of a domestic factory while his campaign rival, William Jennings Bryan, welcomes foreign workers into the US Mint. Below, the text quotes part of McKinley’s 1896 address in which he says, “I believe it is a good deal better to open up the mills of the United States to the labor of America than to open up the mints of the United States to the silver of the World.” That sentiment seems quite familiar even today. This is a particularly rare poster and an important historic document.
