Railroads and reform split New York politics in 1870 era
The piece argues for the Kansas City and Memphis railroad as a key to Missouri prosperity, attacks monopoly power and Tammany influence, and criticizes Radical, Republican and Democratic leaders while urging a new line of communication to escape the present corrupt system. It cites figures, opinions, and editorials to warn of widespread public venality and the need for reform.
