Telegraphic Rivalries and the Western Union Monopoly

The text critiques Vanderbilt and other rail magnates for dismantling telegraph monopoly by backing Atlantic & Pacific to challenge Western Union. It claims Western Union stock fell from eight percent to sixty as Atlantic & Pacific rose, arguing telegraph pricing is inflated due to monopoly. It laments express swindle and urges relief and patronage of competing firms.
