The quotation above is from an 1896 speech delivered by william jennings bryan, in which he was protesting the adoption of a strict gold standard in the united states, which could severely limit the national money supply. bryan’s reference to a “cross of gold” is best referred to as which of the following selections? select one: a. symbolism b. bias c. literal language d. propaganda

Bryan's reference to a "Cross of Gold" is a symbolism of the fact that the adoption of the gold standard in the United States at that time was imposing a heavier economic burden on the majority of the population. Instead of using Free Silver as the main material in producing coinage that would increase the money supply and therefore make it more available to all, the US followed the global standard of using gold as coinage material for money supply.

Very cool! free points wooo

Early 18th century british industries were generally small scale and relatively unsophisticated. most textile production, for example, was centred on small workshops or in the homes of spinners, weavers and dyers: a literal ‘cottage industry’ that involved thousands of individual manufacturers. such small-scale production was also a feature of most other industries, with different regions specialising in different products: metal production in the midlands, for example, and coal mining in the north-east.two illustrations of 18t
