Public sentiment on railroads in Kansas is traced
A Marshall County citizen’s speech to the Kansas Capital office traces a cycle of lobbying for railroad subsidies starting with a plan for 16 000 a mile and land grants, the rise and fall of stock schemes, mass meetings, and a shift from support to denunciation as lands rose in value and Congress granted subsidies. It notes shifts in public opinion and a humorous yet critical portrait of local leaders, including Jim Smith, and ends with praise for the speech as a clear description of evolving opinion.
