William Jennings Bryan advocated for an “easy money” policy, with unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1 to gold. This identified him with agrarian interests, in opposition to urban East coast businessmen who favoured the gold standard. Bryan was a Christian who believed in a literal interpretation of the Bible.
