i believe the answer is:

-   william jennings bryan is a democrat while mckinley was a republican

at that time, the segment of population that choose for democratic party were the voters with low economic background and vice versa

- william jennings has support of populists and wants to have inflation to farmers while mckinley has support of bankers and businessmen , doesn't want inflation

the fixed value of gold make the large business able to stack up their gold without   being worried that it would devaluated.

- william jennings supported the silver standard while mckinley supported the gold standard

according to jenning, using other metal beside gold could the poor people to have more purchasing power and them advance in the society.

the big stick policy was to still look powerful, and be nice at the same time. the big stick policy was also to countries who were at war, find peace with eachother.

the dollar diplomacy was to expand american business and get it to latin america, for that would be good for the economy.

you my friend, your regards.
