This is the text of a speech delivered by William Jackson Armstrong before the National Convention of the People's Party in Omaha on July 4, 1892. The speech offers insight into the core tenets and aspirations of the Populist movement during a pivotal moment in American history. It reflects the party's platform and the issues they championed, such as currency reform, government regulation, and land ownership.
Armstrong's address provides valuable historical context for understanding the rise of Populism and its lasting impact on American political discourse. This speech is a primary source document for anyone studying late 19th-century American politics and the challenges faced by farmers and laborers during the Gilded Age.
