(a) One key goal of the Populist Party in the 1890s was free coinage of silver (bimetallism) to increase the money supply, which they thought would raise crop prices and help indebted farmers.
(b) The Populist Party emerged because many farmers faced falling crop prices, heavy debts, and high railroad fees, so they organized politically to demand economic relief and regulation of big companies.
(c) A key similarity is that both the Populists and the Jacksonian Democrats claimed to represent the “common man” and attacked powerful economic elites (like banks and monopolies) as harmful to ordinary people.
