The phrases which name parts of the Populist Party's program are more Government loans to farmers and Populist Party is also called people’s party.

Step-by-step explanation:

Populist Party was based on the farmer’s alliance and it worked for the welfare of the farmers. Farmer’s alliance joined hands with major parties to for another party called people’s party.

The main objective of the Populist Party was to improve collective bargaining, regulating railroads, increase the coining of silver, federally controlled warehouses for the benefit of the farmers.

They also insisted on shorter working hours for the farmers. The party faced downfall because it did not appeal to the small tradesmen and wage earners because it only favored the farmers and it was unable to bring about the successful coalition of rural and urban departments to jointly work for the welfare of the farmers.
