Answer:
The 'interstate commerce act of 1887' helped farmers from not being charged more for the farmers in railroads.
Explanation:
Making the railroads 'the first industry subject to federal regulation' congress passed 'the interstate commerce act in 1887'. Congress headed the law widely to the public that railroad operations be controlled according to the act.
Railroads differentiated the prices that are charged to passengers and shipping, they gave discounts to large buyers. This helped farmers to reduce their transportation charges on goods.
