LAD 19

"We seek to restore the governement of the Republic to the hands of the plain people." This quote shows the centre of the populist party's platform in 1892. The issues they deal with are gold/silver debate (16:1, gold:silver), farming and it's effects on the nation, oppression, injustice, poverty, transportation, and land disputes. The party really wants to benefit the people, rather than the wealthy upper class.
