Cleveland was best known in his time for his honesty and courage, his leadership of the business-oriented [[Bourbon Democrats]], and his opposition to the leftist forces that were overwhelming the Democratic Party. In the 21st century, some [[conservative]]s praise his [[limited government]] values. Cleveland supported the gold standard and lower tariffs, and opposed imperialism, corruption, patronage, veterans' pensions, high taxes and silver-based inflation. Some historians point out that Cleveland was the last small government president the Democrats ever elected.<ref>Larry Schweikart and Michael Allen, "A Patriot's History of the United States" (2007)</ref> However, other historians argue that Cleveland began the steady expansion of the federal role.<ref>See Ballard C.
