LAD #23 Populist Party Platform
The Populist Party arose during the time of big business. The party mostly wanted to give control to the population and secure that the money earned will not be taken away. They wanted unions to be legal for everyone. They wanted the government to control the railroads. It seems to me to be another form of the democratic party with the only difference being that they didn't want to take money from the population. One interesting thing that was included was they wanted to take land away from the new immigrants that moved to the United States, but I guess that it makes sense because they didn't want them taking their jobs.
