Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Politics in the Gilded Age were characterized by scandal and corruption, but voter turnout reached an all-time high. The Republican Party supported business and industry with a protective tariff and hard money policies. The Democratic Party opposed the tariff and eventually adopted the free silver platform.
Detailed explanation-2: -Efforts by farmers to bring economic and political change within the Bourbon-controlled Democratic Party seemed hopeless. This led Mississippi farmers to turn to and support the newly created Populist Party.
Detailed explanation-3: -In fact, it was wealthy tycoons, not politicians, who inconspicuously held the most political power during the Gilded Age.
