Ravages of the money power in 19th century rail politics
The piece attacks partisan press by exposing how Democratic and Republican outlets manipulate money power to favor railroad interests and the Farmers Alliance. It cites Gould and bribery cases in New York and Jersey, plus letters from Huntington showing subsidies and pressure, warning of a corrupt system shaping legislation. The essay frames these as a national struggle and invites Allied support against the money power.
