The Second Philippine Commission was formed with McKinley appointed William H. Taft at its head. The commission was instructed by McKinley to work towards successful independence.
There's yet another lesson for claimed Chief Executive Trump, who has totally failed to grasp the thought behind President McKinley's tariff policies, which were to wipe out a government surplus by depressing trade. McKinley wasn't an imperialist and was attempting to bring a country to independence even while we were fighting its independence movement.
McKinley, it might be noted, was an intelligent man, not rich, who had served his country in wartime.
