  2. “Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the provisions of this act shall apply to any common carrier or carriers engaged in the transportation of passengers or property wholly by railroad, or partly by railroad under a common control…for a continuous carriage or shipment…All charges made for any service rendered…shall be reasonable and just; and every unjust and unreasonable charge for such service is prohibited and declared unlawful…” From what 1887 legislation is this excerpt taken? How did its passage change the relationship between business and the government? Feb 3

  3. When the farmer comes to town With his wagon broken down, Oh, the farmer is the man who feeds them all. If you’ll only look and see I think you will agree That the farmer is the man who feeds them all. The farmer is the man, The farmer is the man, Lives on credit till the fall; Then they take him by the hand And they lead him from the land, The middleman’s the one who gets it all. When the banker says he’s broke, And the merchant’s up in smoke, They forget that it’s the farmer feeds them all. It would put them to the test If the farmer took a rest, Then they’d know that it’s the farmer feeds them all. List 3 complaints expressed by the speaker of the poem.
