Who was the populist party representing in 1891?

The Populist Party, formed in 1891, primarily represented the interests of farmers and agrarian workers in the United States, particularly those facing economic hardships due to low crop prices, high debt, and monopolistic practices of railroads and banks. The party sought to address the grievances of these groups through reforms such as the regulation of railroad rates, the introduction of a graduated income tax, and the implementation of direct election of senators. It aimed to unite disenfranchised rural voters and advocate for policies that would promote economic equity and social justice.
