fundamental error and Injustice of TINT comnart
was the admission of the claim set up by the
Southern lines. TINT New York and Roston
should be common points to all the lines. while
PHILADELPHIA and Baltimore should be intenpc-
diate points between New York aud the Missis-
slppi River. and US such entitled to u lower rate
Of fure and freight In other words. although
philadc1pI1ia and baltimore arc Atlantic cities
accessible BY foreign commerce, vet they should
huye veto power o, er the rates from New York
to the great West, while they shall be ut liberty
to court the trade Of the West by offering rates
nj fare and freight greatly reduced The effect
of this has been to giye to Baltimore the sale Of
-1o,"w0 bags Of coffee in a single week, while New
York sold but 1,o0o It has made it necessary
for New York merchants to par their CUSTOM
CTS from the Mississippi River from three to six
dollars perton, to induce them TO continue their
purchases at New York, that sum being barely
sufficient to place them on the same footing US
to freight, as their neigbors who may have been
induced to stop ut Baltimore or Philadelphia to
purchase. This injury is not confined to New
York, but affects Boston aud crcry intermediate
wholcsailng city to, and including, Chicago. Is
1t not evident TINT II st. Louis is BY this means
permitted to receive its tonnage from the Attain
tic cities at four to sis dollars ton less than
chicago, that by SO much, added TO tile great
facilities she llas far cheap transportation By

II the advantages arc natural and not artificial,
