The Populist Businessman

Albert May Todd's 1898 speech on the floor of the House of Representatives, reminding Congress of the Crédit Mobilier scandal and the fraud and collusion of the railroads. Todd was a successful businessman as well as a Populist. His story is interesting, especially in light of the belief today that business and the people are on different sides.
