Populist Movement Policy Understanding

Hard Period 6: 1865–1898 Populist Movement

The Populist Movement of the late 19th century was characterized by its coalition of farmers, laborers, and political reformers. One major issue that galvanized these groups was the economic hardship they faced due to falling crop prices, high railroad rates, and the perceived corruption of political elites. The Grange movement and later the Farmers' Alliance were precursor organizations that highlighted these issues, leading to the establishment of the People's Party in 1892.

Which of the following policies was NOT advocated by the Populist Movement as a solution to the economic difficulties faced by agrarian workers?
