| William Jennings Bryan |
Farmers were facing a lot of problems during the 1900's. One person, William Jennings, visited the farmers and saw what they were facing. He didn't want to see the pain the farmers were facing and started to help them. He was against using gold as currency because it would drive prices down and debts up, farmers liked what he said and started to follow him.
Williams said that if we use gold, then we die. Farmers agreed with him and stated to act on his word. Populism was now at its peak, and Williams thought now he has power and run for office. He had good speeches and farmers liked what he said. They supported him for running for office. People that weren't farmers didn't like the idea of not using gold, and didn't want him to run for office. When the ellections came, williams was running against more powerfull people. Most people didn't like his idea and didn't vote for him. Because of that he lost and populism died.
