Excerpt from The Carrier Crisis: Plain Spoken Treatment of the Government Ownership of Railroads Issue, the Canal a Commercial LiberatorThe carrier issue is the biggest question the Ameri can people have to deal with. It is a question of such broadening scope that security points to the earliest possible settlement of the matter consistent with prudent national conduct.The proposal that the nation shall buy immunity from its Oppressors, or that we shall, as a people, do any thing akin to compromise with outlaw combines of predatory wealth, I hold to be nu-american. If we have lost control of public affairs, and have, as a people, surrendered the mastery of public conduct that an honest, intelligent and independent people by right own and enjoy, then may we play the weakling and talk of compromise.Believing, however, that a goodly majority of the voters of America have sense enough to know what isgood for themselves, honesty enough to be trusted alone with the ballot, and courage enough to spurn intimidation, I am convinced that the truth of the matter at issue, broadly diffused, constitutes the solvent remedy.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
