Answer:

He responded by saying their business definition was far too narrow.

Step-by-step explanation:

Williams Bryan relates the battle for free silver with the revolution in the United States.

His iconic "Cross of Gold" address ignited the Democratic National Convention in 1896 where he begged the american people not to be "crucified on the cross of gold." He was said this because of the Republicans plan to introduce a firm gold standard and abolish silver coinage.
