Railroads seek through freights only when the
local freights will not fully employ all its rolling
stock. But the facts in this case show that freights
from Nashville and way stations to Chattanooga
have laid in the depots for days. whilst freights in
trains upon trains were wheeling along the Nash
Vile q Chattanooga railroad.
II asked why this local freight cannot be ship
ped, il is answered that the stookholders make
more money By carrying corn from 81. Louis at
about cents per Jushel than for carrying corn for
Tennesseans al Is cents par bUshel.
Then. again. when tho freight reaches Chatta-
nooga. the Georgia State road cannot take it
away. because they have not cars enough to do
their own local business and this through freight
too. But this is is small matter for the Nash
Vile and Chattanooga railroad officers are very
accommodating and send their own cars through
to Atlanta. If this was all, VIC might afford to
sta6d it. But these officers are so accommoda-
ting they send their dorm to Johnsonville to
take away the freight from there for the Nash
vile and Northwestern railroad say they have
not the cars 20 do this through business and their
own LEGAL freight also.
But seriously-for this Is too grave matter to
be sporting with-the Stockholders of the Nash
Vile and Chattanooga railroad are actually and
in fact furnishing cars for the Nashville and
Northwestern and the Georgia State roads to do
their business while their officers cannot do your
ewn local business. and for this rolling.stock
which is being used at both ends of your road and
not erclusiceU for your own road, you are involv-
cd, Il is said. in debt exceeding one million Of
dollars 1t becomes you to stop and examine in
to this matter.
All Tennessee wants. and what she will have.
is justice. Let the rolling stock Of the Nashville
and Chattanooga railroad be employed in trans
porting the freight offered on her own road. and
when that fails TO employ it, let the remainder be
used for foreign freight. This is what the Nash
willie and Northwestern and Georgia State roads
do, and this is what is demanded by the public.
II is great mistake Of the officers TO suppose
they can intimidRte Tennessee The State gener-
ously loaned the Nashville & Chattanooga Rail-
road Company almost one-half the money which
constructed tn cir rond and for which to-day she
holds the first mortgage and it is but lust and fair
that her citiE ems should be placed upon footing
Of equality.
But does the above tariff Of charges show an
equal footing? Let uR see. Whisky from st.
Louis 10 Chattanooga, 81 IS per barrel. Whisky
from Nashville to Chattanooga. s. so per barrel.
Only charging l5c per barrel, while we all know,
as shown in the above tariff. it costs 81. Now the
stockholders can see where their money goes. A
brrrel Of -four costs g. % from st. Louis to At
lanta and,from Nashville the Same costs to Allan
Ia 81 so only charging 53c per barrel from st.
Louis 20 Nashville, whereas the charge is so cents
per barrel, losing thereby q cents per barrel
There goes the money ngnin. Corn per bushel
from ST. Louis TO Atlanta, 80 cents. Corn from
Nashville to Atlanta q cents. ST, Louis to Nash
Vile II cents. There is loss again Of 10 cents
per bushol.
. This is the way the money Of the stockholders
goes Keep up this line and you will soon see all
Of your stock bought up by the few. and then we
will have saddled upon Us huge and gigantic
monopoly. Stockholders look into the facts and
examine for yourselves. ANOTHER OUTSIDER.
