Excerpt from Depreciated Currency and Diminished Railway Rates During the summer of 1908 the daily press gave currency to rumors that the railways of the United States were considering a general revision of their schedules of freight rates with a view to obtaining increased revenue. Accompanying these reports were statements that the augmented cost of conducting the business of supplying railway transportation had made increased revenue absolutely necessary if wages were to be maintained at the existing level and interest obligations met. It was alleged that railway labor was costing vastly more than formerly, that locomotives, cars, rails, fuel, supplies and materials of all kinds, had increased greatly in cost and that while these changes had been in progress railway rates had remained substantially stationary or had, upon the average, declined. The meaning of these statements, if they could be accepted as accurate, was clearly that there had been a material decline in the value of the money received by the railways which, not having been offset by a corresponding increase in the sums received for particular services, amounted to a genuine decline in railway rates. Further, it was plain, that if such a decline had taken place and had proceeded so far as to endanger the current wages of railway employees or to render doubtful the ability to earn interest on bonds or a fair return to investors, the employees of the railways and owners of railway property were justly entitled to such nominal increases in rates as would, in part at least, offset the real reductions.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Railway Rates: English and Foreign A part of the information upon which these observations are founded was obtained for my own guidance, in considering the complaints as to Railway rates and the comparisons between railways in the United Kingdom and abroad. At the i suggestion of the representatives of some of the Companies the subject was followed up. These observations have expanded beyond my original intentions; but they have been prepared for a limited object; they do not purport to exhaust the subject. I have endeavoured to treat it fairly, and to pay due regard alike to the interests of the traders, the public, and the railway companies; interests which may, to a hasty observer, occasionally appear conflicting, but which, looked at reasonably, and in the light of fall information, are seen to be identical.

Excerpt from Currency Reform Improvement Not Depreciation So many writers on the Currency have recommended its depreciation, as the best means of correcting our national ills, and the public have become so tired of this panacea, that it appears necessary, to secure attention to a work on Currency having no such object, to state so even on the title-page. The following views, with the exception of the proposition to Nationalize the Currency, have neither been proposed nor adopted, as far as the Author is aware, by any other writer. The idea, however, of Nationalizing the Currency, has been taken up by different parties. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
