Bryan after Delivering his “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."

Summary -- Realignment of the 1890s -- Neither Party Replaced 1 Summary -- Realignment of the 1890s -- Neither Party Replaced 1. Breadth and Depth of the Underlying Grievance – Not too great. The Farmers and the Labor Unions were angry but the Bi-Metalism Issue did not have the power that Slavery had and Inflation after 1895 negated the issue. 2. Capacity to Provoke Resistance – Farmers had many successes. 3. Leadership – Held firm in the Republican Party but the Democratic Party was split internally. 4. Division of Polar Forces Between the Two Parties – Affected Mainly the Democrats. Strength of Existing Party Attachments – Strong, especially for Republicans. The Silver Republicans stayed in the Party while the Gold Democrats switched to the Republican Party.

5. Strength of Existing Party Attachments – Strong, especially for Republicans. The Silver Republicans stayed in the Party while the Gold Democrats switched to the Republican Party.

SUMMARY – Realignment of the 1890s -- The Realignment Scenario Clearly Type 2 -- Realignment in which Neither Party is Replaced. The System evolves from State A to State B/C and snaps back into State A.
