"Meantime you and I, we pay the extortionate rates in everything we buy, and meantime these same extortionate rates pile up to make the fortunes that are produced from an investment of nothing." -Charles Edward Russell, Stories of the Great Railroads (1912) Stories of the Great Railroads (1912) by Charles Edward Russell is a collection of articles, most of which originally appeared in Hampton's Magazine prior to the book's publication.
