Question

Which of the following was a major concern for the National Grange?

corporate income tax
manufacturing prices
railroad monopolies
urban poverty

Answer 1

Its "railroad monopolies" because railroads were the main cause of farmer debt due to the high shipping prices.

Answer 2

The national grange was a bunch of farmers, so D is off the list, as is B.

A is about corporations; not a lot to do with farmers, again.

C, though - railroads totally revolutionized farming industry, because now farmers could sell to people far away. But if one railroad company dominated the industry, they could hike the prices ridiculously high, which irritated the National Grange.
