[WOZ] Explain the Wicked Witch of the West, her Golden Cap & her pursuit of the silver shoes.
WWoW = McKinley
Hanna told McKinley to go west and sit on his front porch and give speeches to make him look like a down to earth guy. This is why he is the witch of the WEST.
Golden Cap? The source of SMA power, the gold standard. The source of the WWoW's power. If Dorothy loses even one silver shoe, she (Dorothy) loses all of her power. Illusion to wanting to remove Bimetallic standard.
The Republican rhetoric was "We support Bimetallic standard, but we need support from other countries." Populists realized this wasn't sincere.
