The correct answer should be B. Corporation lawyer from Chicago

The speech was about changing the standard upon which the value of money was built. It was supposed to help farmers and miners in rural communities and prevent huge companies from exploiting them for their gains. Therefore, knights of labor, prospectors, and farmers, would support it, while a lawyer would not.
