Public pressure- states tried to regulate RR & trusts and SC ruled unconstitutional
Sherman Antitrust Act 1890- attempt by congress to appease country; had little impact
McKinley Tariff 1890- highest protective tariff every; didn’t really prevent monopolies and angered public
Interstate Commerce Act-1887-banned discrimination in rates between long and short hauls, required that RR publish their rate schedules and file them with the gov’t
