	Farmers'_movement
		Farmers' movement From Sterwiki The Farmers Movement was, in American political history, the general name for a movement between 1867 and 1896 remarkable for a radical socio-economic propaganda that came from what was considered the most conservative class of American society.
		Such laws were known as Granger laws, and their general principles, soon endorsed (1876) by the Supreme Court of the United States, have become an important chapter in the laws of the land.
		The Farmers movement was the beginning of widespread, effective protest against the menace of privilege in the United States.

	Farmers' Alliance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Grange movement had attempted limited influence in politics, notably in urging the legislatures of several Midwestern states to regulate railroads to break the monopoly of individual rail lines.
		The Granger movement was successful in several cases in forcing railroads to compete, but the railroad corporations successfully lobbied the United States Supreme Court to overturn these laws as unconstitutional.
		The failure of the political arm of the Grange movement left many farmers with the attitude that political action was futile in the face of large corporations.

		These movements have manifested different degrees of coherence and intelligence, but all have had something of the same purpose and spirit, and all may justly be considered as stages of the still unfinished agrarian crusade.
		The movement was distinctly one of leaders rather than of the masses, and the things for which it stood most specifically--the removal of political disabilities in the South and civil service reform--awakened little enthusiasm among the farmers of the West.
		It was not until the panic of 1873 had intensified the agricultural depression and the Granger movement had failed to relieve the situation that the farmers of the West took hold of greenbackism and made it a major political issue.

	The Railroad Builders by John Moody,1919
		It is a fact that a decrease in railroad construction followed the Granger demonstration, and the friends of the railroads insisted that timid capital hesitated to embark in an enterprise that was constantly subject to legislative attack.
		While the Granger movement thus failed effectively to curb the railroads, it succeeded in arousing great popular interest in the railroad problem and in placing before the public several of the most important details of that problem.
