The city Of Richmond With pride have observed The
steady march Of progress which the city OF Richmond has
made In all departments Of business, and as legislator,
willing do all derco and foster her trade
manufacturing her commercial interests aud her
sanc arts. but, b!r while say thus much must pro-
against all discriminating legislation, which placeb tho
city Richmond upon vantage ground, above the other
cities and corporations OF s State entitled alike to equal
nd protecting legislation at the hands OF this General AZ
semhly.
This law Insignificant In iihe Affects seriously
and dssrousy the profits and frrsts OF railroads other
than those leading the city OF Richmond. it Is obvious
that no manufacturer Of flour outside o. Richmond
afford 10 send his -four to any other place than Richmond,
when great disparity in The CT inspection there and
elsewhere exists Hence that neiGhborng cities and
railroads deeply affected and seriously Injured But,
Ia order ha; may fatigue ths body, will simply Hug
tr:tte the force o! my views hy supposed case.
