Wizard of Oz is about the political climate in the 1880s around money where there was competition to the gold standard with people advocating for a bimetalic standard with silver. The yellow brick road represents the gold standard, while Dorothy's slippers were silver in the book (adapted to ruby for the movie).
The scarecrow represented the farmers, tin man the industry in need of oil, the cowardly lion was William Jennings Bryan, who was a pro-silver advocate.
