What did William Jennings Bryan promote?
In the 1896 US presidential election, Democratic candidate William Jennings Bryan was well known for supporting the silver standard, as opposed to Republican William McKinley's support of the gold standard. The gold standard meant that money was linked to the value of gold. Because of the gold standard, debtors rarely got out of debt because of continuous inflation. Bryan supported shifting the standard to silver, a cheaper metal that would give debtors greater chances to pay their debts.

Who said 'I will not be crucified on a cross of gold'?
It was said by William Jennings Bryan during the election of 1896. He was advocating for the U.S to move away from the "gold standard" and adopt silver to back up U.S currency along with gold. Basically for farmers interests of the Populist movement they wanted more money in circulation because they all used to get loans from the banks. But I believe it was more like: "I will not help mankind to be crucified on a cross of gold" He lost the election and it did not happen.
Who was elected on the sound money platform?
William McKinley ran on a 'gold standard' platform, which may be what you're looking for. William Jennings Bryan ran against him, favoring a 'bi-metallic' standard--both silver and gold. His 'Cross Of Gold' speech is a classic of saying a bunch of words without giving a single valid argument for what the speech advocates. TexasCharley
