Populism (The People’s Party)• The concern over the farmers eventually gave rise to the Populist
Movement• Populism embraced what farmers wanted, it supported the
circulation of greenbacks (paper currency)• In 1892, under the official name of the People’s Party, the Populists
met in Omaha, Nebraska• Here they formed the Omaha Platform. Politically, Populism
appealed to the common man• It was a movement that praised agriculture as the backbone of the
country and favored farmers of the South and Wes• It also sought to break down racial divisions between white and
black farmers. Populists preached these 2 groups must unit to beat oppression of big business and corrupt politicians

Election of 1896• As the country approached the presidential election of 1896, it was
experiencing one of the worse economic depressions ever.• As the depression deepened in 1894, more and more people blamed
President Cleveland for the worsening condition.• Cleveland blamed the silver standard for the nation’s economic woes
and returned the US to a strict gold standard– This meant the dollar could only be backed by gold. Many people
argued it should be based on silver too. By backing money with gold & silver, money would be more plentiful
– This position supported bimetallism – Eventually populists agreed to support bimetallism and greenbacks– The silver question became a major issue of the 1896 campaign
