The Populist Party was a radical, leftist party which sought to protect society from the evils of the wealthy bond-holders. They also found the gold standard faulty and sought to use silver coinage in addition to it. If elected, they pledged to support the labor unions, give the wealth to the laborer who earns it, and that the government will manage the land controlled in the name of railroads, and give it back to the people. They close with several economic promises to benefit the common man, like a graduated income tax and savings banks to be created by the government.
