Any economic or political impact of 'The Wizard of Oz' on farmers in the American Midwest is unknown. But there may have been a psychological impact from the positive portrayal of Dorothy Gale and of her Uncle Henry and Aunt Em. Indeed, both the original 1900 book edition and the beloved 1939 film version show the three characters to be resourceful, honest, hard working, and brave in the face of extreme weather, harsh conditions, and limited resources.
That the setting is a farm and that the main character is a little farm girl whose family struggles to survive are ways in which "The Wizard of Oz" relates to the farmers' plight during the nineteenth century.
Specifically, farmers struggled against the stress of natural forces that they did not have the technology to control or mitigate during the nineteenth century. That struggle is reflected in "The Wizard of Oz," which begins and ends on farm land in the vast, hostile, bleak Kansas prairies. It is found in the worried, gaunt, exhausted appearances and words of Uncle Henry and Aunt Em, guardians of the little farm girl Dorothy Gale. It is evident in the resigned reaction of Uncle Henry to having to check the cows and horses and the panic of Aunt Em to getting under cover before the full fury of the cyclone is felt.
Yes, "The Wizard of Oz" is a frame narrative.Specifically, a frame narrative contains stories within the initial story. This describes the relationship of the introductory story of Dorothy Gale to the subsequent stories of the Lion, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman and the Wizard. All stories relate to the original story of how Dorothy and her pet dog Toto land in the magical land of Oz and how to get them back home and their friends to their separate destinations in Oz.

That its appeal stands the tests of place and time is the reason why "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" is a classic book.Specifically, a literary classic deals with themes to which people can relate regardless of the place or time in which they live. The description fits the children's book written by Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 - May 6, 1919) as America's first fairy tale. For example, the story line includes such enduring themes as appreciating family and home, defending what is right, following one's dream, making friends and realizing at one and the same time that a book can be judged by its cover and that appearances are deceiving.

Anything can relate to the theme! Certain themes are more popular during certain times, yes. For example, tragedies were quite popular in the 19th Century, so tragic themes were common.
The author made no attempt to relate "The Wizard of Oz" to the First World War.Specifically, author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 - May 6, 1919) published his book in 1900. The book therefore was written after U.S. involvement in the Spanish-American War of 1898, but well before the First World War. World War One did not begin until 1914, and the United States of America was not an immediate participant.
The evidence tends not to present the Wizard as a believer in, or supporter of, Populism. For the Wizard of Oz seems more like a benevolent despot at best, a dictator at worst. He's the Supreme Ruler of the Emerald City. The people of Oz are used to absolute rule by hereditary monarchs. And there's no indication that the Wizard tampers with historical, traditional ways of governing, and getting things done, in Oz. Neither does he seem to rely on popular opinion, or on any form of political organization or judicial or legislative checks to executive powers. The descriptions in the book give the impression of rule from the top down. And the people just happen to be lucky that the Wizard makes advantageous, beneficial decisions that aren't based at all on their expressed choices or preferences. In fact, the book reveals that petitioners, residents, and visitors don't know what the Wizard really looks like, because he changes appearances and shapes with each audience. In fact, no one is encouraged to seek audience with the Wizard. Those that do end up waiting. And those that get in to the Throne Room are treated to humbling, terrifying sound and light shows. And they're required to do something in exchange for any services granted. The lack of an open interaction with his people, the distance between him and his people, and the decisionmaking without any political organization don't make the Wizard look at all Populist-friendly. The meeting of the people's needs fits in with Populist concerns over the welfare of farmers and workers. But the way in which the Wizard meets these needs aren't at all Populist-friendly. Where are the equivalents of the weekly radio talk, the town hall meeting, the regular press conferences, and the ambling about to get to know the constituency?

Not at all is how the Wicked Witch of the West relates to Populism in "The Wizard of Oz."Specifically, Populism was a political movement in the United States of America in the nineteenth century. It suffered from extreme regional appeal and therefore could not hold its own against the consolidating efforts of the Democratic and Republican Parties. It disappeared from the political scene well before the releases of the original book edition in 1900 and of the movie classic in 1939. But great literature cooperates with interpretations, meanings and symbolism beyond those of the creator. For example, those who seek such symbolism believe that the Wicked Witch of the West symbolizes land grabbers in the American Southwest and West.
