The Grain Tariff on the Mississippi
Fr"n the Chicago Times, April S.
The regular monthly meeting of the
Chicago Mercantile Association was held at
judge Rlnick, Of Minnesota, appeared on
behalf Of the merchants and producers Of
that State, to protest againss the monopoly
which regulates the tariff upon grain, both
10y steamers on the river and interior rail-
roads leading to Chicago. He urged upan,
the association the propriety Of appointing
:comlniltee which ne represented in relation
to the matter
Mr.. McGlash; u of Minnesota, also ex.
plained the injustice ana exhorbitarce Of the
present ra;es stating that, if they were in
sisted upon, it would force interior .produc,
e,e to find a more southern market, instead
of shipping their grain via Chicago.
Geo. s. Bowen offered tho following res
olution
ResolvEI, That we deem it for the interest
of our city and its business, that favorable
rates Of freight upon grain and produce he
secured as far IS may be in all cases, and
deprecate the combination upon the upper
Mississippi River, and the roads connecting
Herewith. preventing The shipment Of grain
to this market excep: at largely ;ncrea cod
rates, discriminating against our city.
The President stated that some uf the
railroads refused to cary grain from the
West, unless it should be brought to them
by certain line of boats in which the rail-
roads are interested: thus placing the pro
ducers At the mercy Of a monopoly which
|deprives them OF ali profit upon their labor.
Othcr gentlemen explained the injustice
OF the monopoly, and urged that Some meas
ures be taken to remedy the evil
The resolution was unanimously adopt.
