Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Populists' 1892 Omaha Platform called for the implementation of a federal income tax, as a means to alleviate the burden on farmers and workers who were struggling under a regressive tax system. The platform also advocated for other progressive measures such as the nationalization of railroads and telegraph systems, as well as the direct election of senators. Although the platform did not explicitly endorse women's suffrage or public ownership of factories, these issues were important to many Populist supporters and were eventually taken up by the progressive movement.
