The Populist Party wanted to push several issues at the time in the 1890s in the United States.
1. Free Silver--one of their biggest platforms was to change the currency to free silver to make it more affordable for the average person to use, instead of having money backed up by the gold standard.
2. Eight hour workday--They wanted to have workers and laborers be given an eight hour workday to give workers better working conditions than what they currently faced.
3. Income tax--They wanted to have a federal income tax (which later becomes the 16th Amendment) to have different taxes for people based on their income, or how much money they would make. So essentially, a very wealthy person would have higher taxes than a poor person.
4. Regulation of the railroad--They wanted the government to regulate the railroad instead of the big businesses regulating the railroad and coming up with the prices. The farmers especially felt as though it was not fair to allow the business owners to set the prices.
The Populist Party was essentially called the People's Party because they wanted to better represent and recognize the common people in government.
When new people come into town, there are bound to be those filled with curiosity to see who this new person is. There will be people who will want to accommodate the new person and guide them to places. But this does not mean that the new people who have come to our town can be rude and unmannerly. We have as much curiosity as you and when you come into our town we hope that we can be able to accommodate you and have opportunities to meet up. But because some people who come into our town forget about good manners and show great rudeness we cannot guide you , we cannot observe you even if we wish to. That is why we have to hide behind bushes where you are going to pass. And we are to never intrude ourselves into your company because we do not wish to be met with rudeness.
The idea I think Franklin is conveying in this excerpt is that when you go into a new place into someone else’s town. Do not forget your manners and do not be rude because if those in the town are met with your rudeness they may not want to accommodate you anymore.

Explanation:
- Published in 1862, the Proclamation was made public on January 1, 1863. In it, Abraham Lincoln carefully spells out provisions and procedures that will not only ensure victory in the Union, but also the freedom of those currently enslaved.
- Lincoln first declares that all slaves are freed in the rebellious states, leaving slavery still in the border states to ensure their loyalty. Lincoln also declares that all slaves who choose to fight for the Union will be given freedom.
- More than 180,000 African-American soldiers joined the Union, which proved to be critical to the Union's victory. The document itself was the key to ending the civil war and slavery in the United States.
- Lincoln proclaimed political success by proclaiming the Southerners as barbarians in the eyes of Europeans who want to maintain the slave system. The United Kingdom and France, which had previously sympathized with the Confederacy of Independence struggle, are now turning their support to the Union.
