William Jennings Bryan wrote the "Cross of Gold" speech to convey the message that if America relied completely on gold, the economy would suffer. It was one of the most memorable speeches in history.Bryan wanted more money in circulation and so proposed the coining of silver as well. This would cause a limited amount of inflation and so stimulate the economy.
