This is a term that refers to people who "boldly steal the results of their efforts" using middle and middle classes (Morgan, 30).

Populist political parties were born in a turmoil of declining crop prices and political turmoil. For people, populists are as it is heard.

The Omaha platform adopted at the inaugural general meeting of the party on 4th July 1892 detailed the basic principles of the populist movement. The movement was born from a cooperative movement organized by farmers' union in the 1880's. The preface was written by Minnesota lawyers, farmers, politicians, novelist Ignatius Donnelly.
