Outrageous Tariff on Steel Rails Interview
An interview with A B Linderman of this city who returned from England on the ill fated Oregon. He plans a Georgia railroad and says rails from Hogland cost 20 to 21 dollars per ton, while American rails run 35 50 per ton here. English rails allegedly wear better, yet a Vanderbilt purchase was made to justify higher price due to duty. Linderman decides against England rails, warning the tariff of 16 90 per ton will raise costs for over 200 miles of rail. The piece argues the steel rail monopoly burdens readers with higher transport charges.
