Populism & Free Silver meet….

Fantastic fairytale Populist parable?

Scarecrow Farmers

Tinman Factory Workers

Cowardly Lion William Jennings Bryan Before I became the prosecutor in the Scopes Trial

The Wizard of Oz Just a scam artist (represented previous bad presidents) who fooled people into seeing a green city (Washington D.C.) at the end of the yellow road

The Wicked Witch of the East Represented rich senators, bankers, and industrialists who abused and overworked workers (munchkins)

Senator Marcus Hanna who fooled people into seeing greenback $ at the end of the “gold standard” road.

The Yellow Brick Road Gold Standard

The happy ending for a Populist Parable? The Scarecrow/Farmers find their brains

The Tin Woodman/Factory Workers find their strength.

The Cowardly Lion/William Jennings Bryan finds his courage and speaks out.

And Dorothy’s magic SILVER slippers (“not ruby!”)

whisk her away from the green fantasy city of Oz to the real world of Kansas.

A happy ending for the Populist fairy tale… but not what really happened. Populism and Free Silver lost out to the bankers and the gold standard
