Reprimanding is to rebuke someone and more often than not it is in an offical matter.

The Populists demanded an increase in the circulating currency which was to be achieved by the unlimited coinage of silver, government ownership of the railroads to prevent monopolies, the direct election of U.S. senators, and other measures designed to strengthen political democracy and give the farmers economic parity with the larger business powerhouse.
Hope that helped!
I think it's the Industrial Revolution. Let me know if this helped!
