LAD #20: Cross of Gold speech

Bryan is addressing a group of people and is pleading the cause of humanity. He states he is fighting for a principle in the name of human kind. He is arguing in defense of the working class, especially farmers, and stating that converting the entire United States treasury to be backed by gold would be horrible. He states that it would be crucifying the American people on a "Cross of Gold." He means that by converting the entire treasury to be backed by gold would basically bring about the death of the farmers and would hurt the entire United States. He states that he feels that the Democratic Party and the Republican Party have been covering up the issue about the gold standard and have been only focusing on the tariff and not being concerned with what really matters for the American people
