Democratic party echoes Populist dreams in reform proposals
The text contrasts modern Democratic goals with Populist ideas including a $1 hour minimum, social security, farm price supports, and broad government control. It notes equal education access with nine month terms and a degree teacher as key achievements. It also includes unrelated quips about fashion, holiday vending, and a misbehaving chick joke.
