23 The Age of Railroads American History 11R
24 Transcontinental Railroad Central Pacific Railroad & Union Pacific Railroad Promontory, Utah - May 10 th, 1869.
25 Reality Central Pacific employed thousands of Chinese immigrants Paid half of what whites received Union Pacific employed Irish immigrants and out of work Civil War veterans First time statistics gathered 2000 killed and 20,000 injured.
26 George M. Pullman Built sleeper railroad cars and others in Illinois. Company town Clean, well-constructed housing. Doctors offices, shops.
27 The Modern Colossus of (Rail) Roads William Vanderbilt, Jay Gould, and Cyrus W. Fields Created railroad trust from Union Pacific, New York Central, and Lake Shore & Dependence lines.
28 Credit Mobilier Stockholders in Union Pacific formed a construction company to build railroad. Contract to lay track at 2 to 3 times the cost. Stockholders pocketed the profit. Donated stock shares to 20 representatives in Congress Officers of Union Pacific earn $23 million in stocks, bonds, and cash.
29 Grangers Farmers organization founded in Farmers angry at railroads Stealing land Fixing prices for shipping goods Different rates for different customers Elected state legislators Wanted laws to protect interests.
30
31 Granger Laws 1871 Illinois authorized a commission to establish maximum freight and passenger rates and prohibit discrimination. Railroads challenged constitutionality of these states laws
32 Munn v. Illinois 1877 Supreme Court upheld Granger Laws. States won the right to regulate the railroads for the benefit of farmers and consumers. Established principle Right of federal government to regulate private industry to serve the public interest. Short lived victory
33 1886 Wabash v. Illinois Supreme Court ruled that states could not regulate railroad rates within their own states if train was headed to another state or from another state. Only the federal government had the right to regulate interstate trade.
34 Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 Response to Wabash v. Illinois Congress passed legislation to regulate railroads Required railroad rates to be reasonable and just. Established 5 member Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) Could only prevent railroads from charging more for short hauls than long hauls Could not set maximum rates Enforcement meant suing the railroad company took years to settle.
35 Panic of 1893 Due to Corporate abuses Mismanagement Overbuilding Competition Forced railroads to edge of bankruptcy. By 1894, quarter of nation s railroads taken over by financial companies. As 20 th century began 7 companies controlled over 2/3s of the nation s railroad tracks.
36 American History 11R
37 Rise of Big Business Business practices of Gilded Age Corrupt or Beneficial? Industrialization Enormous economic opportunities for those with money to invest Between 1860 and % of population controlled 1/3 of nation s wealth
38 By 1900 Rise of Big Business Only Great Britain's industrial production exceeded total industrial production of United States. Two major factors : New Businessmen New Ways of Doing Business
39 Oil & John D. Rockefeller Rockefeller organized Standard Oil Co. bought out smaller refiners Organized Trusts Combine companies Reduce competition Increase profits
40 Robber Barons In 1870 Standard Oil processed just 3% of U.S. crude oil By 1880 over 90% of crude oil processed by Rockefeller s Drove many competitors out of business and paid employees low wages. Called Robber Barons Harsh business tactics Tried to improve image by donating millions of dollars to charity Became Philanthropists
41 Capitalism Economic system based on the private ownership of the means of production (individual or corporation) Free markets to sell products Right to use means of production to earn a profit.
42 Economic Philosophy Herbert Spencer British economist. Advocate of laissez-faire. Adapted Darwin s ideas from the Origin of Species to humans. Notion of Survival of the Fittest.
43 Laissez Faire French term meaning allow to do Doctrine opposing government interference in economic affairs beyond the minimum necessary for the maintenance of peace and property rights. Marketplace should not be regulated
44 Social Darwinism An economic and social philosophy Biologist Charles Darwin s On the Origin of Species book Theory of evolution by natural selection System of unrestrained competition will ensure the survival of the fittest business. Success and failure in business were governed by natural law and that no one had a right to intervene.
45 Social Darwinism in America Individuals must have absolute freedom to struggle, succeed or fail. William Graham Sumner Folkways (1906) Therefore, state intervention to reward society and the economy is futile!
46 "A drunkard in the gutter is just where he ought to be...the law of survival of the fittest was not made by man, and it cannot be abrogated by man. We can only, by interfering with it, produce the survival of the unfittest." --- William Graham Sumner, What Social Classes Owe to Each Other (1883) Agree or Disagree?
47 "The law of competition may be sometimes hard for the individual, [but] it is best for the race, because it insures the survival of the fittest in every department." ---Andrew Carnegie, "The Gospel of Wealth, (1889)
48 Andrew Carnegie Born in Scotland Started working as clerk for railroad money manager. Entered steel business in 1873
49 Iron and Steel Andrew Carnegie - integrated all stages of refinement process (from ore to finished rails) Vertical Integration Buy out suppliers Horizontal Integration Merging with companies that make similar products. Trust: Horizontal Integration John D. Rockefeller Vertical Integration: o o Gustavus Swift Meat-packing Andrew Carnegie U. S. Steel
50 New Type of Business Entities
51 Iron & Steel Production
52 Trusts Business Organizations Form of business merger major stockholders in several corporations turn over their stock to a group of trustees Trustees run the separate corporations as one large company, or trust.
53 Business Organizations Monopoly One seller controls the production, supply, or pricing of a product no close substitutes If no competition do not have to respond to the wants of the consumer to improve a product
54 Business Organizations Holding Company Does not make product it sells stock in itself and uses that money to buy companies that do make the product. Example - United States Steel Corporation
55 Business Organizations Pools Railroads Different railroads conspired to fix rates on freight and passenger traffic. Pools - anti-competitive against the public interest. Interstate Commerce Act prohibited pools, or conspiracies by railroads to fix rates.
