Coxey businessman led march of 500 people from Ohio to Washington Wanted to call attention to high rate of unemployment Arrested for walking of grass What does silver have to do with the economy?

Panic of 1893 & Coxey’s Army.

Describe America’s financial policy in the 1890s. Tight money policy U.S.’s money supply based on Gold Very limited (tight) supply Hurt farmers most Food prices had dropped Mortgage payments remained the same

What did the farmers want? Bi-metalism & a loose money policy Dollars backed by gold and silver Would increase supply of money Make money cheaper Allow them to pay off their debts

Which money policy did eastern bankers favor? Tight or Gold only money policy Why? Less money in supply means that its worth more (has more buying power) Farmers owed them a “fixed” amount of cash (ex. $1000) $1000 gets them more if less of it is available

What was Grover Cleveland’s attitude towards the economy?

What other issue affected farmers and laborers? Tariffs

What is a tariff? A tax on imported goods. Imported goods= products made in other countries

What kinds of tariffs are there? Protective intended to keep identified foreign products out of our country so that Americans will “Buy American!” Revenue designed to raise money for the country calculated to be small enough so as not to curtail trade

Revenue Tariff Example: The United States imposes a five percent tariff on foreign wine. Pre tariff price: $20.00 bottle After tariff price: $21.00 bottle Result: Demand will probably not drop much for the product and the imposing country will raise funds.

An artificial increase in foreign prices Protective Tariff Example An artificial increase in foreign prices Foreign Steel Cost $100 per ton With 30% Tariff $130 per ton Domestic Steel Cost $120 per ton US Sales Foreign Sales

How does a tariff work? Farmers can buy an American tractor for $100 and English tractor for $130 A steel mill in England makes tractors to sell for $90 each The US Gov. places a $40 fee (tariff) on each English tractor A fledgling American factory makes tractors to sell for $100 each Tractors are transported to America.

How will foreign nations react to a protective tariff? retaliate by imposing tariffs on our exports. IE. Farm products

Owners of Protected Industries Who is hurt and helped by a protective tariff? Hurt Helped Consumers Owners of Protected Industries Exporters Workers in Protected Industries

How did protective tariffs hurt farmers? Made farm products more expensive overseas Cut their sales in other nations

Election of 1896 Presentation

Describe the Election of 1896. Big Issues: Bi-metalism Tariff Candidates William Jennings Bryan Great orator Supported by Democrats and Populists, farmers Tireless campaigner William McKinley Conservative A friend to big business Never left front porch

What does Bryan mean by a “cross of gold?” Burn down your cites and leave our farms, and your cities will spring up again as if by magic. But destroy our farms and the grass will grow in the streets of every city in the country…you shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold.” Gold only money policy is crushing (crucifying) the farmers
