Public Ownership of Railroads and Communication Lines
My teacher do not provide the file though this writing assignment. So i will copy the guideline of the homework to you. And it just a short writing assignment . hope you can have good experience though this work.
Prompt: Imagine that you are a campaign advisor for either a Republican or Democratic candidate for the presidency in 1896 (note: you do not need to pick an actual candidate from this election, it's fine to advise a hypothetical generic candidate). Write a one page memo advising the candidate on how they should address one key concern of the Populist Movement.
Keys to success: (1) Clearly identify a major issue for the Populist Party constituency [the 1892 Populist Party Platform attached here can help with that if the textbook does not offer enough guidance]
(2) Explain why this issue matters to voters (either for or against)
(3) Recommend a political stance/strategy generally consistent with your chosen party's beliefs at the time
-Length: 250-350 words (Not a hard cap, but part of the goal of the assignment is to make this roughly a 1-1.5 page memo)
FROM: Adam Wells, Campaign Advisor
DATE: August 15, 1896
SUBJECT: Public Ownership of Railroads and Communication Lines
Our nation is founded on many principles. Among these are the principles of enterprise and development. Every United States citizen has the freedom to start a business and operate it without any government intervention. It is through uninterrupted business practice that our country's trade can grow. Critical drivers of trade in our country are railroads and communication lines. These two private-sector services ensure the movement of resources, people, and goods from one place to another and continuous communication between traders. Public ownership of railroads and communication lines means increased government spending and decreased economic development.
