National Populist Party

The National Populist Party was a political movement in the United States during the 1890s that focused on representing the interests of farmers and working-class Americans. It emphasized increased government intervention to regulate big business, support for currency reforms like silver coinage, and advocating for rural communities against urban and corporate influence. The party sought to address economic inequalities and promote policies that prioritized the needs of ordinary citizens, challenging dominant political and economic elites of the time. Although it was short-lived, it played a significant role in shaping Progressive Era reforms.
