Description | The Northern Farmers' Alliance, established in 1879, arose amidst farmers' discontent over low crop prices and perceived exploitation by various entities such as railroads, speculators, and banks. In Nebraska, severe challenges like droughts and foreclosures fueled the Alliance's growth. The Nebraska State Alliance, formed in 1881, aimed to address economic woes through initiatives like cheaper transportation and cooperative efforts. The Independent Party in Nebraska endorsed many Alliance candidates, influencing the political landscape. Numerous Nebraska publications, including The Alliance, advocated Alliance and Independent views. The Independent, edited by James A. Edgerton, addressed farmers' concerns and had a significant readership. The plight of farmers, as highlighted in articles like "Worried Farmers," underscored the challenges they faced with land ownership and agricultural production.
