william jennings bryan was the great exponent of the free coinage of silver and mckinley hadd actually at a certain amout of sympathy towards that time of his career but now it's coming down to a dramatic sort of bipolar, binary question and a lot of people, conservatives particularly economic conservatives felt it would debase the currency and lead to inflation. mckinley ultimately adopted that position and now the populist forces throughout the third term so when he ran again the second time, that if you no longer have the same residence. >> his right hand -- [inaudible] >> guest: he's taken a lot of hits in history over the decades, over the century, but he's quite a fascinating character. like him a lot. he was very rich, he made a lot of money in the industry and a lot of different industries at the time when there was a lot of entrepreneurialism going on in the industrial age. and he was from cleveland and wanted to get an ohioan into the white house initially sold on one of mckinley's rivals but he had ag falling out with that gu, so he fixated on getting mckinley into the white

i think william mckinley was one of them. b called them conservative. i mind is blanking, rutherford b hayes. >> was the only interested in the ohio presidents? are all presidents? see what he was the ohio presidents, grover cleveland, warren harding, my mind is going blank about four of them right there. >> guest: yeah not when to get them either. stuart and james garfield. it's because he mckinley was president he was more than that. he was a man prepared to move the country new directives, he did he change his views on tariffs dramatically will he was president. so i'm definitely put them in a category of being sort of a conservative. i think those terms by not necessarily be all that helpful as we try to understand how these presidents operated in the context of their times. and i don't know who i would consider to be conservative presidents from ohio. sue and taft is yellow that makes six altogether. >> guest: taft is worth noting here briefly he was destroyed politically by teddy roosevelt his very, very previous good friend who'd fostered his car

idea. >> is it fair to compare the election of 1896 to the election of 2020 and the fact that william mckinley ran a campaign from ohio while williams jenny brian was a speaker and out there being bombastic. >> he was incredibly bombastic and the great populist of our history, probably the most successful entry populist impure populace. so i think there is some analogies but i don't think that election had the same kind of electricity and in singularity factors that we experience in 2020. >> where was the country in 1896 as far as this. >> i would say there are two big issues one was a whole tariff issue which is very significant to much of our history and much like taxation is today we did not have an income tax at that time so the tariffs were large revenue generator for the nation and they also could be used to protect their industries from foreign competition and that was a huge issue for decades in america all throughout the entire 1800s and the other one was the issue that william jennings bryan was trying to bring to the white house that was currency and monetary policy, it was a strong
