OF RAILROADS to increase the rates of fare and

TO meet the requirements of the public in case
tne iour lines comprising the combination car
ry out their intentions .

pay local rates to make their connections they
can reduce the rates on their own line (t being
OF so great lengthy that the travelling public
and merchants will have the advantage Of the
lowest rates. 1t may not be understood what
this combination is. The following circular re-
ceived from the commissioners of the Trunk
