Passionate, purposeless politics Parties agreed on
issues; high turnout (80%) based on patronage.
GOP – midwest, rural NE - strict morality, govt involved in ec. and values; Democrats – South and Big Cities – Catholic, Lutheran immigrants, easier going morality

bad treatment of Indians? What did the Dawes Act do? What was the philosophy of the
Carlisle Indian School Where else was gold found? Where was the Comstock Lode?

Cowboys to ranches
Long Drives ended because:
1. barbed wire 2. overgrazing 3. winters 1885-
1886 Cattle production
shifted to large ranches

III. Return of the Populists
New farmers problems:
1. one crop – wheat or corn
2. world market 3. deflation 4. interest rates 5. boll weevil 6. droughts and floods 7. property taxes 8. freight rates
![Page 87: I. Gilded Age](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/568167e2550346895ddd47b7/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
Farmers’ organizations
1. Grange (Oliver Kelly), 2. Alliance – social activities – cooperative stores, warehouses, some political success
Mary Lease – Populist leader – “raise less corn and more hell!”
![Page 88: I. Gilded Age](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/568167e2550346895ddd47b7/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)

IV. Election of 1896
GOP - McKinley – pro-tariff, Gold Standard; Westerners walked out of convention
Democrats – William Jennings Bryan – Cross of Gold speech; free silver
![Page 92: I. Gilded Age](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/568167e2550346895ddd47b7/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)

Populist dilemma Push all reforms, stay
pure and lose; join Democrats for a chance to win; supported Bryan and free silver.
Bryan – 18,000 miles, 600 speeches, 5m listeners; McKinley front porch campaign more money
![Page 94: I. Gilded Age](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/568167e2550346895ddd47b7/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
Realigning election
McKinley won 271-176; Bryan wound South and west, not urban workers.
Soon crop prices rose and more gold was found, inflating currency; farmers prospered, no need for Populists
![Page 95: I. Gilded Age](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062316/568167e2550346895ddd47b7/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
Tell the story of the 1896 election What candidates? What third party? What issue? What speech? Why did Populists join Democrats? Why did McKinley win? Why was the election important?
