This volume comprises the arguments presented before the Committee on Interstate Commerce regarding Senate Bill 892, an amendment to the "Act to Regulate Commerce" approved on February 4, 1887. These arguments, documented from the 52nd Congress, 1st Session (1891-92), offer insight into the legislative considerations and debates surrounding the regulation of commerce across state lines during the late 19th century.
The arguments encapsulate diverse perspectives, revealing the challenges and complexities of regulating burgeoning industries and trade practices at a time of significant economic transformation. For historians, legal scholars, and those interested in the evolution of U.S. trade law, this compilation provides a valuable primary source for understanding the historical context and legislative intent behind early efforts to regulate interstate commerce.
