          The Populist Party originally based their beliefs off opposing big businesses and all they stand for. Some of the first members included in the party were farmers who believed in unions and the basic rights of people for all workers. They were supporters of increased government control, and made sure all the railroads were controlled by the government. The Populist Party leaned in support of the people and their rights, going against corruption in business.

that made him seem like the common man. He put into
the minds of United States citizens that he was just another
ordinary person that would represent them and make
sure all their rights were being protected.
