Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Railways and the Traders: A Sketch of the Railway Rates Question in Theory and Practice
From China to Peru - the statement is made in all literalness - the nations of the world have, after somewhat more than half a century's experience, finally decided either that their governments shall own and work their railways, or at least that in return for a generous measure of State support their railways shall accept an equally ample measure of State con trol. Two countries only are to be excepted - im portant exceptions without doubt, seeing that between them they contain half the railway mileage and half the railway capital of the world - the United Kingdom and the United States.

Excerpt from The Railways and the Traders: A Sketch of the Railway Rates Question in Theory and Practice
"Of the many ways in which common-sense inferences about social affairs" - so writes Mr. Herbert Spencer in his most recent essay - "are flatly contradicted by events, one of the most curious is the way in which, the more things improve, the louder become the exclamations about their badness." Of this tendency of human nature Mr. Spencer gives not a few striking examples. He might, however have found another at least equally striking in the attitude of the English public to the Railway Companies. A generation back the companies did pretty much what was right in their own eyes, and let their will avouch the deed. Speaking even of a time as recent as twenty years back, the most competent of American observers - Professor Hadley - expresses his unbounded astonishment at the "impudence" with which they "openly defied a regularly constituted public authority."
