Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book reveals the fraudulent practices that aided in the construction of the Pacific Railroads in the mid-1800s. The author, a prominent political figure, presents evidence from the US Pacific Railway Commission that details the unscrupulous methods used by company directors to enrich themselves at the expense of the government and the public. The railroads were constructed with inflated costs and excessive profits for the directors, resulting in exorbitant freight rates that burdened industries and consumers alike. The book argues that the government should seek legal action against the directors to recover the stolen funds and prevent further exploitation of public resources by private interests. Its compelling narrative sheds light on the corrupt practices of the era and serves as a cautionary tale about the potential consequences when greed and power go unchecked. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
