Secondary-source excerpt (c. 85 words): Mining historians describe how western silver production became entangled with national politics. Because silver discoveries increased the potential money supply, western miners and many farmers favored policies that would expand coinage of silver. Opponents, including many bankers and creditors, preferred the gold standard. These disputes contributed to intense partisan conflict in the 1890s and linked western resource extraction to debates over monetary policy.
Which political issue is most directly connected to the excerpt's discussion of silver mining?
