Which group was most strongly supported the free silver movement?
debtors
Which group wanted to help farmers pay their debts by creating more silver?
The Free Silver Movement, backed most strongly by Western miners and their employees and by wheat and cotton farmers, wanted the U.S. to continue using silver as well as gold for its coins. This would have created more money and therefore caused inflation (when there is more money available, people are willing to pay higher prices). Because of inflation, farmers would have received more money for their products and would have been more easily able to pay their debts to banks, manufacturers and suppliers of farm equipment, and the railroads that transported their goods, with money that was worth less than when they had borrowed it. The Free Silver Movement was allied to the Populist Party and then became part of the Democratic Party. "Free silver" became the principal issue in the unsuccessful presidential campaigns of William Jennings Bryan, Democratic Party nominee in 1896 and 1900.
Why did the populist movement start?
As westward expansion was becoming more popular, so was farming the western land. Wanting to be represented, these farmers created the Farmer's Alliance, which fought for rights and privelages of farmers. The Farmer's Alliance later turned into the Populist Party.

Support for the free silver movement was strongest?
In the late nineteenth century gold and silver were both still used as money exclusively, as mandated in the U.S. Constitution.

This was a populist movement because it would remove real wealth from the hands of working people and concentrate it ito the hands of bankers.
Why did farmers support bimetallism or free silver in the late 1800?
In the late 1800s, a political party emerged known as the Populists that was comprised dominantly of farmers. This group wanted the free and unlimited coinage of silver. Led by William Jennings Bryan, the Democratic nominee for the 1896 election, free silverites demanded inflation of the silver coin. The farmers supported bimetallism or free silver in the late 1800s because many of them were struggling to make ends meet, and the inflation of silver would add much needed financial respite. For example, if one were to borrow two dollars in gold, this sum could be paid back in two dollars of silver. Silver and gold, under a Populist notion, are considered equal. Yet silver is NOT equivalent to gold, and the true worth of the debt repaid in silver would be equivalent to one dollar.
