Evening Republican, Volume 16, Number 273, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 November 1912 — Cheap Fare on Russian Line. [ARTICLE]

Cheap Fare on Russian Line.

In the matter of fares the TransSiberian puts all other railroads to shame. For first-class the charges are about two-thirds of a penny per mile; second (only a little Inferior), less than a half-penny for the same distance, while if you care to risk a third-class journey you get your four miles for a penny. Even this is the height of extortion when compared with the emigrant rate. This works out at something like a shilling for a hundred miles, and if the emigrant does not possess the shilling the government will lend it bim!—London Tit-Bits.
