Which of these was a factor that contributed to the formation of the People’s Party in 1891?

Farmers organized the People’s Party (also called the Populist Party) because they believed established parties were not addressing their concerns, such as railroad rates, debt, and falling crop prices. They wanted a political party that would represent farmers’ interests. Choice D is incorrect because farmers generally opposed high shipping costs and wanted better prices for their crops.
