  • Pennsylvania and the Politics of the Tariff, 1880-1888
    PENNSYLVANIA AND THE POLITICS OF THE TARIFF, 1880-1888 BY S. WALTER POULSHOCK* -;)URING the decade of the 'eighties the tariff question was a vital political issue. The Republican party learned to use it Loth to cement Republican unity and to place the Democrats on t7e defensive by opening wider the rifts within that party that sihowed so markedly when economic problems were discussed. To the Republicans, stressing the tariff question became a prime campaign tactic, used especially in areas where the doctrine of protection had meaning for the mass of the electorate. The tariff question had been present in American politics dur- irig the period from 1865 to 1880, but it had not been a central question. The complexities of the issue were obscured by the in- ability of political parties to adjust their strategy and their think- ing in terms other than those of the "Southern question." However, the period from the 1870's through the 1890's, and especially the years from 1880 to 1888, were years of re-appraisal and development for both the Republican and Democratic parties. The great object was to find or make political issues which could bind the parties into cohesive organizations with bases sufficiently diversified so as to produce national party structures. The chief political problem of the era was to develop national parties out of the sectionalized and divided parties which had emerged from the Civil War. The Republicans at first believed they could achieve this with the use of political issues raised by war and their Radical Reconstruction, but they found that as the hatreds and antagonisms of the war and its aftermath waned, the economic and social issues produced by the American industrial revolution superseded those of war and reconstruction.

  • How Populistic Were the Populists in 19Th Century America? Analysis by Automated Textual Analysis Version 1.0
    How Populistic were the Populists in 19th Century America? Analysis by Automated Textual Analysis Version 1.0 Masaru Nishikawa [email protected] Professor, Department of International and Cultural Studies, Tsuda University December 3, 2020. Abstract: Populism in American Historical Context: "populism" has been applied to many politicians and social movements in the US history such as Joseph McCarthy, Huey Long, George Wallace, Ronald Regan, Ross Perot, Bernie Sanders, and Donald Trump. Originally, Populism of the United States began with the People's Party (i.e., the Populists), which was formed early in the 1890s. From 1892 to 1908, the party nominated candidates to run for the US president. However, after the 1896 election, the People's Party limped along and finally collapsed soon after the 1908 election. Historians have provided excellent qualitative studies of the People's Party. Although there are numerous quantitative researches on Populism in modern America, scholars have not given serious attention to the People's Party using a well-developed scientific methodological apparatus. Therefore, in this paper, the author applied the modern analytical tool of Populism to the People's Party and demonstrated how populistic they were. Multiple approaches toward Populism: there are different approaches to Populism, such as (1) political theoretic, (2) structuralist, (3) economic, (4) strategic/discursive, and (4) ideational approach. Those approaches are not mutually exclusive, and it is essential to choose one from those approaches as a relevant analytic tool. In this article, the author seeks to demonstrate how (and in what way) populistic the politicians of the People's Party were.

  • 20 Heralding the Call of Populism 21 Promise and Fuse with Democrats
    Methodist History, 49:1 (October 2010) HERALDING THE CALL OF POPULISM: KANSAS METHODISTS AND THE 896 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION DARIN A. TUCK The 1896 presidential election between William McKinley and William Jennings Bryan was one of the most pivotal and dramatic elections in American history. It not only represented a realignment in party policies and strongholds, but it also effectively ended the reform-minded Populist Party. The Republican McKinley defeated Bryan, who headed the Democratic and Populist tickets, largely by winning the coastal and former Northwest Territory. In his election campaign, Bryan faced enormous challenges. First, the relatively unknown Nebraska orator became a serious contender on the Democratic ticket only a few months before the convention. Second, Bryan faced a severe lack of funds in comparison to the enormous war chest col- lected for McKinley by his influential ally, Mark Hanna. McKinley enjoyed superiority in the press and sat atop a political machine that, according to historian Paul Glad, made Bryan’s campaign look like a “peanut opera- tion.”1 Third, the currency question split the Democratic Party between “Gold Democrats” and “Silverites.” Bryan was a member of the latter group that supported the coinage of silver as currency and wanted to set its value as equal to one-sixteenth of gold. Proponents believed the policy change would raise the amount of money in circulation, increase the lend- ing powers of Midwestern banks, and help struggling laborers and farmers. Symptomatic of the polemic nature of the currency issue, the potential by- product of inflation concerned many Democrats who left the party to form the National Democratic Party after Bryan’s nomination.2 Furthermore, McKinley proclaimed that gold was the only “sound money,” and he was helped by his reputation as an expert on economic and tariff issues that gave him credibility in the eyes of potential voters.
