To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Continental countries have a numerous amount of exceptional rates, so that they can deal with export and import goods just as they like, and they do it, to our cost.
The French Railways at their start had no fixed classification. One Railway had three goods classifications, and another had 28, and others in between. Then the Government stepped in and forced a uniform system, with six classifications.
Sir Bernard Samuelson writes — "Except iron, stone, coal, and coke, and a few other articles, t
...he rates are so much lower in the North of Europe, which compete with us for the trade of the world, as to place our traders at a serious disadvantage." Mr Jeans says that the average ton mile- rates in Belgium, Germany, and Holland are much under our own, at least 21 per cent, on an average.
Professor Hunter states that our contentious system has led to practices that are against the interests of the shareholders and the traders alike. It has given r-«e to an army of touts or agents whose services are of no value to the trading community, and it has led to a costly and unprofitable mode of conveying traffic, and that there was too great a transit cost between the classifications, and there was still greater difficulty in.
