The organization attempted to solve the mounting financial problems of southern farmers by forming cooperative purchasing and marketing enterprises
Explanation:
It advocated a federal farm-credit and marketing scheme called the subtreasury plan. When these efforts failed, the Alliance played a leading role in establishing a national third party, the People's or Populist Party, in the early 1890s. This bold entry into partisan politics, however, split the Alliance's membership and contributed to the organization's rapid demise.
