The Populist Party Platform
This party was all started because of the big business and laissez faire government. This is because this created the major gap between the rich and the poor. This gap proved important the party because one of the main ideas of it was the idea that silver should be added back into the money system. This silver was very important for the farmers so many of the poor farmers were more in favor of this party. The party had three main goals or ideas. One, that a permanent labor union would be provided for all workers. Two, there could be no industrial giants whom would take the employees money for them selves. And three, the railroads would be made property of the people by being under government control rather than business. They also believe they will create a graduated income tax, improve transportation, repossess the land of the big businesses to the government for the people. And then the platform ended with a list of Sentiments demanding the government, big businesses to do things and that the people must get sympathy from them.
