William Jennings Bryan was supporting the usage of silver as a means of exchange in trade, along with the widely supported gold (that is, monetary value would equal a certain weight of gold, and he proposed that it also be equal to a certain weight of silver). . He believed that being limited to only gold would not bring prosperity to the country, for example because of the limited amount of gold available.
