mar 14, 1900 - The Gold Standard Act
Description:
This act solidified the use of gold to redeem paper money and ended the idea for the need of the use of silver. This was due to the rise of gold in the world with much of it finding its way to the united states where it would support an economic boom and promote prosperity. This would also mark an end to the populist party with most of its mebers joining the democratic party ending agrarian radicalism.
