The Grange members were early critics of the railroads because the railroads didn't have enough cars for carrying grain to elevators but, they wanted the government to regulate the railroads and the prices they set to.
The social movement was started by farmers in the late 1860s to solve the various issues they faced.
Some major problem faced by the farmers during 1860s was the corporate ownership of railroads and grain elevators. Grain elevators were used for storing crops. These corporations were charged high prices for marketing and distribution of agricultural goods and farmer had no other option but to pay the high price.
As the Grange helped the farmers in building grain elevators, purchasing machinery, and persuading the government to regulate the shipping fee these led to the Granger movement and the public sentiment went against monopolies and resulted in the passage of the Sherman Act in 1890 which outlawed cartels, monopolies, and trusts.
