What did the People’s Party believe would result from the government taking control of America’s railroads and banks? Government control would prevent those industries from taking advantage of small farmers. Government control would force those industries to offer more jobs to the “common people.” Government control would prompt banks and railroads to rely on gold coins instead of silver. Government control would end the inflation and rising costs caused by a shortage of currency.
