William McKinley was the 25th President of the United States serving from March 4 1897 until his assassination in September 1901 six months into his second term. McKinley led the nation to victory in the Spanish - American War raised protective tariffs to promote American industry and maintained the nation on the gold standard in a rejection of inflationary proposals. McKinley was the last president to have served in the American Civil War and the only one to have started the war as an enlisted soldier beginning as a private in the Union Army and ending as a brevet major. After the war he settled in Canton Ohio where he practiced law and married Ida Saxton. In 1876 he was elected to Congress where he became the Republican Party's expert on the protective tariff which he promised would bring prosperity. His 1890 McKinley Tariff was highly controversial; which together with a Democratic redistricting aimed at gerrymandering him out of office led to his defeat in the Democratic landslide of 1890. He was elected Ohio's governor in 1891 and 1893 steering a moderate course between capital and labor interests. With the aid of his close adviser Mark Hanna he secured the Republican nomination for president in 1896 amid a deep economic depression. He defeated his Democratic rival William Jennings Bryan after a front-porch campaign in which he advocated "sound money" the gold standard unless altered by international agreement and promised that high tariffs would restore prosperity. Rapid economic growth marked McKinley's presidency. He promoted the 1897 Dingley Tariff to protect manufacturers and factory workers from foreign competition and in 1900 he secured the passage of the Gold Standard Act. McKinley hoped to persuade Spain to grant independence to rebellious Cuba without conflict but when negotiation failed he led the nation into the Spanish - American War of 1898; the U.S. victory was quick and decisive. As part of the peace settlement Spain turned over to the United States its main overseas colonies of Puerto Rico Guam and the Philippines; Cuba was promised independence but at that time remained under the control of the U.S. Army. The United States annexed the independent Republic of Hawaii in 1898 and it became a U.S. territory. Historians regard McKinley's 1896 victory as a realigning election in which the political stalemate of the post - Civil War era gave way to the Republican-dominated Fourth Party System which began with the Progressive Era. McKinley defeated Bryan again in the 1900 presidential election in a campaign focused on imperialism protectionism and free silver. However his legacy was quickly cut short when he was shot on September 6 1901 by Leon Czolgosz a second-generation Polish-American with anarchist leanings; McKinley died eight days later and was succeeded by his Vice President Theodore Roosevelt. As an innovator of American interventionism and pro-business sentiment McKinley's presidency is generally considered above average though his universally positive public perception was soon overshadowed by Roosevelt.

1929réf. 150991Beverly Hills CA: United Artists 1929. Vintage borderless studio still photograph of actors Constance Talmadge and Andre Roanne from the 1929 silent film. Based on Jean Vignaud's 1928 novel. Talmadge sister of actresses Norma and Natalie starred in her first major role in D.W. Griffith's "Intolerance" 1916. Unlike her sisters Constance preferred to appear in light romantic comedies such as "A Pair of Silk Stockings" 1918 "Wedding Bells" 1921 and "The Primitive Lover" 1922. Although many of her films are now considered lost Talmadge is now best remembered for originating the tradition of preserving footprints in concrete outside Grauman's Chinese Theatre after accidentally stepping into wet concrete in front of the theatre in 1927. As with many silent film stars her career faded with the advent of sound film and by the 1930s she and her sisters had retired from the screen. 7.25 x 9.75 inches. Very Good plus overall.
