Best Answer

Bimetallism is the use of both silver and gold as the basis of an economy as opposed to the use of one or the other or none. This would help the farmers and the farmers highly supported it because more money would be in circulation. Therefore the prices would rise, value of money decreases so more people would have money. A high percentage of the farmers were in debt. By increasing the amount of money, the overall value of money would go down, and the farmers would have an easier time paying off their debts.
