Book Overview

On an October evening in 1904, Philadelphia's Academy of Music filled to hear Republican Senator Philander C. Knox speak to a city at the heart of America's manufacturing boom. History speaks in this hall. Delivered under the auspices of the Manufacturers Club of Philadelphia, this historic political speech captures the urgency, confidence and anxieties of early 20th century oratory, when questions of industrial era economics, national power and civic duty dominated public life. As a window into Progressive Era America and Theodore Roosevelt era politics, Knox's address from 1904 Philadelphia Pennsylvania lays bare the arguments that shaped Republican Party history at a pivotal moment. It stands as an unfiltered primary source for students, researchers and general readers interested in American political history, early Republican speeches and the evolving relationship between government and industry.
