Farmers versus railroads and banks in America’s growth
A 19th century analysis argues that American farmers, once dominant owners of wealth, now face rising living costs, high interest, and heavy mortgages while industry, banking, and railroads gain. It cites 1850 wealth shares, debt pressures, and calls for adjusting interest rates to curb asset absorption by the rich, with warnings of usury and economic imbalance. The piece discusses wheat markets, credit, and farmer advised selling patterns amid looming price shifts.
