Question

Which of the populist party's policies undermined its attempts to appeal to urban workers?

Answer 1

Coining silver if you're using gradpoint

Answer 2

Congress's policies undermined its attempts to appeal to urban workers.

The Populist effort was probably doomed from the start. They advanced a number of stellar ideas but fell prey to the allure of free silver, an issue that resonated poorly with urban workers whose votes were badly needed. Discontented farmers, despite their enthusiasm, simply lacked the numbers to move the nation.
