An Unreasonable Freight Tariff.

EDITOR ARGUS, Sjr:-Seeing myself refer
red TO IL your remarks upon the freight Of
malt and barley TO Chicago, / take this OPP
Portunity Of stating what appears to me to be
al unreasonable and unsatisfactory tariff of
freight viz: Is cents per hundred pounds by
the car load, and so cents per hundred for
any less quantity. Ninety eight per cent. is
very wide margin between Wholesale and
retail prices. At that rate half q car load
would cost as much "a whole one and upon
an article which would go into q car with
my grain and almost with any goods.
II seems to me that this tariff of freight Ia
uniaIr and injurious to our trade. Malt Is
generally bought by small brewers. Large
brewers make their own. If the railroad
company is DESTROYS of giving such facilities
It can to all, it is very obvious that an i'm
provement can be made in this matter which
will De very beneficial to both the railroad
company and the people.
ALLOW me to say, Mr.. Editor. that think
your second article partakes too much of the
character Of q recautation, as your argu-
ment was right in the first article. although
your figures were slightly incorrect, but these
you corrected In the second article.
