Information About ™Cross Of Gold Speech |
''Having behind us the producing masses of this nation and the world, supported by the commercial interests, the laboring interests and the toilers everywhere, we will answer their demand for a gold standard by saying to them: You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns, you shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold.'' The Cross of Gold speech may be the inspiration for the Yellow Brick Road in the Wonderful Wizard Of Oz by L. Frank Baum . Some have suggested that ''Oz'' is an allegory for the Populist movement headed by Bryan. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS |
