A graduated income tax, Limits on immigration, and the secret ballot
The Populist Party platform of 1892, known as the Omaha Platform, called for several key reforms, including the establishment of a graduated income tax, the nationalization of railroads and telegraph systems, and the implementation of a direct election of U.S. Senators. It also advocated for the adoption of the secret ballot, the regulation of banks, and the increase of the money supply through the free coinage of silver. The platform aimed to address the economic struggles of farmers and workers, promoting a more equitable distribution of wealth and political power.

The Populist Party adopted the Omaha Platform at its first convention in Omaha, Nebraska on July 4, 1892. In the elections that year, more Populists won races than at any other time in American history.
