- the public ownership of the railroads

- steamship lines and telephone and telegraph systems

- the free and unlimited coinage of silver

- the abolition of national banks

- a system of graduated income tax

The People's Party was a short lived political party established in 1891. They formed when the Knights of Labor and Farmers' Alliance joined forces.
