Explanation:

The Farmers' Alliance, a late 19th-century U.S. agrarian organization, advocated for government intervention to address unfair practices by railroad companies (which charged exorbitant shipping rates for farm goods) and banks (which imposed high interest rates on farm loans, worsening farmers' debt crises). These two industries were key targets of their reform demands.
