After reading The Populist Party Platform, this is the summary I came up with:
They begin by stating many problems the common people face, and use that as their reasoning for their goal, which is to expand the power of the people. They then go on to say that the labor forces in America will be their number one priority and then continue to list their other two main priorities. They continue on to list their finance demands, their transportation goals, and their land goals. They end by listing their resolutions.

After reading McKinley's War Message, here's the summary I came up with:
McKinley begins by talking about how how the war between Cuba and Spain is stressing the American policy of neutrality and is causing issues for the American citizens. He then goes on to talk about how American trade has suffered from this. He then continues to offer options for America to take to help end the war, with one option leaving the US neutral. He then outlines the plan for the US to help end the war and asks congress to give him the power to go through with his plan.
