<p>The Populist Party
-Attempted to unite discontented farmers (economic conditions)
-16:1 (Increasing money supply with the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver)
-Interstate Commerce Act-regulate railroads
-Supported Bryan in the 1896 Election</p>
<p>The reason why they failed was because:
- Western and Southern farmers did not agree with their political strategy.
- Racism prevented poor White and Black frms from working with one anouther
- Increase in urban pop. caused by New Immigrants –> higher prices for agri. products
- Democratic Party absorbed Populist programs.
- Discovery of gold in Yukon –> increase supply easing credit
- Bryan loss in the election</p>
