Very good!!!
Is the entire article available?
 
Here in the states people are entirely out of touch with the sacrifices 
of freedom that come along with an infrastructure that is controlled by 
too few profit seekers. You are correct when you say site the robber-
baron capitalism of the late nineteenth century, when railroad, oil, 
and steel monopolies ran roughshod over America's economy and political 
system. But there seems to be too little of this in the press today.  
What I have found interesting is the origin of the concept of "common 
carriage", which I believe has roots in your part of the world. If 
Americans could understand the abuses that the "canal barons" placed 
upon the people, perhaps they'd have a deeper appreciation of where it 
seems we may be headed. I haven't been able to find too much on the 
origination of common carriage.
