silver
Populists advocated for a shift from a gold and silver-backed currency to a system primarily based on silver because they believed it would increase the money supply, stimulate economic growth, and help struggling farmers and laborers. They argued that a bimetallic standard favored wealthy elites and banks, while a silver standard would empower the working class and alleviate debt burdens. By promoting "free silver," populists sought to combat deflation and ensure more accessible credit for the average American.
