Excerpt from The People and the Railways: A Popular Discussion of the Railway Problem in the United States, by Way of Answer to the Railways and the by James F. Hudson, and With an Examination of the Interstate Commerce Law The'animosity towards the Railway Interest, shown in a volume, the railways and the republic, by Mr. James F. Hudson, has been so largely prevalent among our people; so many honest and worthy persons have conscientiously shared. In it, that it has seemed to me that a conscientious attempt to allay it would not be looked upon either as surplusage or as mere assumption. If I have, therefore, in the following pages, personified this ani mosity as Mr. Hudson, it has been purely for my own conven icnce, not in the least because I think his book either import ant or dangerous on the whole. In rejoining to Mr. Hudson's book, not the least of the labor has been the reduction of his ram bling and riotous charges, statements and conclusions to some sort of classification as to their subject-matter, and so to avoid the ne cessity of an equally ponderous volume of six hundred pages.
