They were making increasingly more of wheat/grain yet its estimation was getting less and less. They were getting less cash for their products.

Bryan had a huge effect during the Populist development and battled for the privileges of the ordinary citizens. He needed to make silver accessible as cash for the common laborers, and not just help the business and the rich. Together, each of them four took the yellow block street to Emerald City.
