Having behind us the commercial interests and the laboring interests and all the toiling masses, we shall answer their demands 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. -William Jennings Bryan Questions 1) What two parties nominated Bryan as their presidential candidate in 1896?
