In the late nineteenth century gold and silver were both still used as money exclusively, as mandated in the U.S. Constitution. The free silver movement began in reaction to the push to demonetize silver in favor of an exclusive gold standard. This was a populist movement because it would remove real wealth from the hands of working people and concentrate it ito the hands of bankers.
