The Cross of Gold was given by William Jennings Bryan on July 9, 1896 at the Chicago Coliseum. It considered the placing of the economy of the US on a gold standard while there would be no silver standard.
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.
