Explanation:

To solve this matching problem, we analyze each Populist Party solution and the corresponding problem it addresses:

1. "8 hour work day + Immigration restrictions"

• Problem: long hours and low pay for urban workers
• Explanation: An 8 - hour workday addresses long working hours, and immigration restrictions were meant to protect urban workers’ job security and wages.

2. "federal loan program and bank regulations"

• Problem: unfairly high interest rates on farm mortgages
• Explanation: Federal loans and bank regulations would help farmers by reducing exploitative interest rates on their mortgages.

3. "Increase the money supply by coining silver"

• Problem: low prices for farm products
• Explanation: Increasing the money supply (via free silver) would cause inflation, which would raise the prices of farm products (helping farmers get better returns).

4. "direct election of senators, term limits for president and VP, secret ballot"

• Problem: political corruption
• Explanation: These political reforms (direct senate elections, term limits, secret ballot) were aimed at reducing corruption in the political system.

5. "more federal regulation of railroads"

• Problem: unfairly high transportation costs
• Explanation: Railroads had a monopoly on transportation, and federal regulation was intended to control their unfair pricing, reducing transportation costs for farmers/consumers.

Final Matches:

• 8 hour work day + Immigration restrictions → long hours and low pay for urban workers
• federal loan program and bank regulations → unfairly high interest rates on farm mortgages
• Increase the money supply by coining silver → low prices for farm products
• direct election of senators, term limits for president and VP, secret ballot → political corruption
• more federal regulation of railroads → unfairly high transportation costs

(Note: The remaining problems like "lack of land on which to farm" and "high prices of farm equipment" would correspond to other Populist solutions not listed here, but the above are the correct matches for the given pairs.)
