Historical Notes

William McKinley's "Sound Money" policy supported the gold standard, ensuring currency was backed only by gold, which favored stable but limited money supply and appealed to business interests. William Jennings Bryan's "Free Silver" advocated for the coinage of silver in addition to gold, aiming to increase the money supply, combat deflation, and aid indebted farmers and working-class people..
