Answer: William Jennings Bryan

Explanation:

William Jennings Bryan was a Nebraska politician who was nominated by his party, the Democratic party, to be their Presidential nominee in 1896 after he gave a rousing speech which today is known as the Cross of Gold speech in support of the bimetal/silver standard.

The standard called for the use of both gold and silver to back the American dollar as opposed to using just gold and was strongly supported by the lower and some middle class. The standard however would have brought high inflation as well as making it harder for the US to trade with other countries.

William Jennings lost the election and the US continued with the gold standard.

What is the relationship between inflation/deflation and the cross of gold speech?
RSB [31]
<span>The relationship between inflation/deflation with </span>William Jennings Bryan's Cross Gold Speech is about how the country's economy had to accept the imposition of gold as the only way to validate American money; which Bryan felt was a punishment (making a clear allusion to the crucifixion and crown of thorns) the fact that only gold was proof of the real value of money and hence the economic depressions could originate. His solution to the economic depression he had started since 1893 was to mint "easy money" silver coins, with very little gold (a ratio of 16 to 1), unlimited, to end the depression.
