1875 · Chicago

by Railroads
Chicago: J.J. Spalding, 1875. Original printed wrappers [some dustsoil], stitched, 36pp. Very Good. In this scarce item the author attempts the difficult task of "arranging harmoniously the relations between the people and the railroads." Government vs. private ownership, the extent of competition now prevailing among railroads, ways to increase that competition, whether rail rates are unjustifiably high, and the nature of appropriate regulation are discussed.
