A PLAIN STATEMENT.
There is az under current at work, at a |
certain point, trying to make the impression |
upon the public mind and preindice certain |
parties abroad that Gen. Malone, President
of the Va. s Tenn. Rsilroad Company, has
acted badly, aud through prejudice, against
the proprietors Of The Salt Works. / will
try and make M honest and true statement
Of the facts, aad leave an enlightened public
20 judge.
when Gen. Malone came in as President
Of the Va. s. Tenn. X. Il. Co, ln found
contract between the railroad company aud
Mrssrs. Sturt, Buchanan s. Go. Messrs. S.
u. & Co. loaned tie railroad some fifty or
one hundred thousand dollars. The railroad
company had agreed 10 carry the salt of
Mtssis. S., b. * Co. at a less rate OF FIRE ght
than any other freight; and had further
agreed to put up freghts upon Liverpool
or other salt, which was done 10 about two
hundred aud fifty per cent. higher than the
freight upon the salt from Saltville. The
freight VI on SAtviile salt was at a rate inju.
rious 20 the railroad company in two ways.
II was SO bow upon the Satvile salt as TO
he below the cost OF transportation, aud SO
high upon foreign salt as to prohibit its
transportation over any but vciy small
distance of the road.
Gen. Malone carried out the contract to
the letter, and as soon as out hp like all
good pablo servant, put up freights upon
salt from Saltville to the rate OF such class
freight upon other articles, and put down
The freight upon Liverpool salt to the same
class.
This is Gen. Mahons's whole SHINING in
this matter. Was he aciuated by prejudice
against the Salt WorksY What say YOU,
Mr.. Farmer, who pays this crtrd dUty2 What
say you, Mr.. S,ockholder, who have never

What say you all who use this necessary
article D0n't you think one monopoly j.
enough for this salt company to havea No
discrimination, particularly in favor Of
monopoly that makes from one hundred and
twenty Eve to one hundred and fifty thous-
aud dollars per annum, whilst you, Mr..
Stakeholder, never received One cent upOu
yonr stock
