LAD #24 Bryan's Cross of Gold Speech

William Jennings Bryan's Cross of Gold speech is one of America's most famous speeches. William read this speech to a crowd at the Democratic nominating convention and he was very well spoken. He felt that gold and silver should be used to set a standard in currency, which is called bimetallism. This was a common argument between political parties during the time. This would also stop the deflation in America. After this speech was over  William Jennings Bryan was seen as a huge influence in this debate.
