McKinley, Bryan, and the PeopleLippincott, 1964 - 222 pages In 1896 William Jennings Bryan represented free-silver and the farm tradition of the Jeffersonian Democrats; Republican McKinley represented big business and industry.

He examines the implications of McKinley's triumph, and the emergence of new forces and new voices which became more powerful in the twentieth century. |
