'If our government had means sufficient to build railroads and carry the people free, we believe that would be sound policy. This being impossible, government ownership would at least keep down the rates, and save the people from the private greed which was at the time so manifest in the conduct of English lines.
Couldn't we play travel in the house? It is such a pity to wait when the children are in such a hurry to go," answered Marjory, settling the tiny bag that held Dora's nightcap and gown as well as the morsels of cake that were to serve for her lunch. "No," said Maggie decidedly, "we can't do it, because there is no room for carriages, and boats, and railroads, and hotels, and accidents.
In fact, the Northeastern Railroads and myself must work together to our mutual advantage that has become quite clear to me. I shall have need of your help in passing the measures." "I'm afraid I don't quite understand you, Mr. Crewe," said Mr. Flint, putting down the papers. "That is," said Mr. Crewe, "if you approve of the bills, and I am confident that I shall be able to convince you."
A dozen years ago; before he had meddled with railroads; back in the old town; soon after taking his father's shop; he was plaintiff; Ruggles worked in the first room; Porter's testimony; Becky Peables the sweetheart of both; burglary; loss trifling; George Ruggles, for one year; came back and married when released; went West.

He knew then the Sleeper wouldn't wake, that he would go on sleeping, sleeping till he died.
Moreover, we had passed beyond the limits of our Rhine guide book, and as yet had no other, and so did not know any thing about the few objects of interest which presented themselves. The railroads, of course, persist in their invariable habit of running you up against a dead wall, so that you see nothing where you stop. The city of Magdeburg is the only interesting object I have seen.
It is one of the most important duties of the General Government to provide and maintain for the use of the people of the States the best practicable mail establishment. To arrive at that end it is indispensable that the Post-Office Department shall be enabled to control the hours at which the mails shall be carried over railroads, as it now does over all other roads.
Not until late in the decade did business recover its former prosperity. With the return of more stable conditions the construction of railroads continued unabated. The Northern Pacific ran near the Canadian line and connected the upper Mississippi Valley with the coast, carrying in its trail the manners and customs of the East.
Betty gave him a glance of surprise. "Why, how did you learn my name?" she asked. "Oh, I heard your friends speak it," he answered glibly. But Betty's smooth brow was puckered thoughtfully. She wondered if he had and if he hadn't. It was very odd certainly that he should know it. "So the railroads are going to hurt the steamboats?" she presently said. "No, I didn't say that.
As I stated in my Message to the Congress a year ago, railroads should be given power to enter into agreements, subject to these agreements being made public in minute detail and to the consent of the Interstate Commerce Commission being first obtained.
