Abstract:
Lacking ready cash, many farmers in the 1880s made credit arrangements with store owners for supplies against the new season's crop. Interest rates were high, and farms could be lost when a crop failed. To combat this situation, farmers organized the North Carolina Farmers' Alliance in 1887 to provide loans and supplies. Unfortunately the Alliance did not have money for financing comparable to the merchants. After peaking at 100,000, membership began to dwindle in 1892, and the Alliance ended shortly thereafter.

Abstract:
Part one of a three part article examining the early life and political career of Populist leader Marion Butler up to his election to the US Senate in 1895. Particular attention is given to Butler's differences from Georgia Populist Tom Watson in Butler's service to the Farmer's Alliance, his persistence as a Democrat, and as a fusionist. Butler's life has been seen as influential not only because he was president of the Alliance and a Senator, but because his life demonstrates the path to political reform taken by thousands of farmers during the 1980s.
