William Jennings Bryan was an American orator and politician from Nebraska. William Jennings Bryan opposed the idea that ONLY gold should be used as a basis for currency and supported bimetallism which means He believed in a more inflationary policy which would use both gold and silver because he stood against the idea of a fixed value for gold while supporting the concept of a currency based on two metals as more stable. He believed that this would bring peace and prosperity in the country.
