"A Supplement to A Compilation of the Messages and Papers of the Presidents: William McKinley" by James D. Richardson is an early 20th-century historical record showcasing a crucial turning point in American governance, during the transition between the 19th and 20th centuries.

The volume highlights important national issues like financial changes, the state of industries, and how America interacted with other countries, while also exploring economic problems, the planning of tariff changes, the setting up of money and banking systems, and the management of national emergencies and laws.
