because everyone has already posted what I want to post, I'll just extend on their thoughts.... since there is not much info to add smile.gif
So I'll talk about the populist party!!!!!

the populist party was formed in 1891 and was basically created to support the farmers. 
It claimed to offer "real solutions" to American problems through the establishment of "constitutional democracy". The party believes that power in the hands of "political elites" has a much greater chance for corruption, and that prosperity can only exist when the sovereign people of the nation are in charge of their own political destiny.
