Farmers of the West and South were a mainstay of support for the Populist Party. Populists and farmers opposed the gold standard and favored the printing of more "greenbacks" backed by silver, not gold. They believed this would open up more affordable credit to the urban areas. The farmers and Populists believed in government regulation of railroads and banks. This would aid the farmer in dealing with rates for shipping his goods to market. They also favored collective economic action against farm products brokers, railroads, and merchants.
