LAD#24

After reading listening to the audio of the Cross of Gold Speech(go to source to understand), this is the summary I came up with:
Bryan begins by talking about American ideals and how labor is very important to these ideals. He then continues on to talk about the issues between the Democratic party and the populist party.Next he talked about all the rights American people have, and what a wonderful thing that is. After that William talks about how the economy is not doing well and it can be helped out by having free coinage of silver since there was such a large amount of it in comparison to gold.
