Populism Populism refers to the political movement (and the Populist Party) of mostly farmers who demanded government reforms in the late 19th century Their demands: Regulation of railroads and other big businesses; the adoption of silver as basis for issuing money

Farmers’ Problems Falling price of farm products and rising cost of farm operations: railroad transportation; machinery; fertilizers Populist solutions: government regulation of railroad to keep costs down; lower tariff to reduce machinery cost and increase export of produce; adoption of silver to increase money supplies

Impact of Populism Populists gained some local political power and split white votes, thus making black votes important and target of Jim Crow laws Influenced Democratic platform in 1896 election and became symbol of third party activism
