Farmers dealt with drought and competing foreign markets in the 1880s thus leading to the farmer's alliance. It was basically a radical movement in the south and west in which farmers in 'farmer's clubs' joined to create a political party. This party believed in cooperating--co-ops would buy supplies in bulk and then distribute them to members for fair prices. The party realized it needed to take political action because it felt there was something radically wrong with the federal monetary policy. They officially formed a national party in 1892 in St. Louis, Missouri. Their nat. convention was then held in July in Omaha in which they elected General James Weaver. He was unsuccessful.
