Who was the (19th century?) economist that believed more money in pockets lead to a better economy?

I remember from my US history class that there was a famous economist who believed that either lowering taxes or raising wages would benefit the American economy somewhere in the 19th century.

Uh, the most famous advocate of deficits -> growth was Keynes. But he was early 20th century.
