Answer: Guarantee for parity pricing for farm goods

Step-by-step explanation:

The Populist party emerged as a strong contender in the latter half of the 1800s as they had the support of farmers and proclaimed themselves to represent, the common man.

They adopted several ideas into their platform such as: the nationalization of the railroad and telegraph industries by the government as they believed these industries were prone to anti-competitive tendencies, unlimited coinage of silver as farmers preferred silver to gold, a presidential limit of only a term and immigration restrictions based on quotas.

They did not want the government to guarantee parity pricing for farm goods.
