The Populist Party, also known as the People's Party, was a significant political group in the United States during the late 19th century. They advocated for several reforms to address the economic hardship and political disenfranchisement experienced by many farmers and laborers at the time.

Among the options you provided, the reform that the Populist Party wanted to establish was a national income tax. They believed that a graduated income tax, where the tax rate increases as the taxable amount increases, would be a fairer system, particularly benefiting the working class and farmers.

The Populists did not specifically advocate for military reform, open ballot elections, or indirect elections of U.S. senators. However, they did call for direct election of senators (as opposed to being chosen by state legislatures), which was later established by the 17th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
