lean provinces, one dollar and fifty
cents perton for sailing vessels or
steamers ; with all other foreign
ports, four dollars per ton for steam

Fast Express Companies.

I Mr.. Chase, of Ashland, offered the
following resolution in the House on
Tuesday last, which was. adopted
The object os the resolution is to bring
about a reform in the transportation
of freight on Ohio railroads:
Resozred, That the Standing Com
mittee on Railroads, be, and they are
hereby required to inquire into the ex-
pediency of prohibiting the carriage of
freights over the different railroads of
this State, by partnerships, associa-
lions, or corporations known as fast
freight companies. and hat said Com
mittee report by bill or otherwise at
the earliest day practicable.
= Upon which, the Daily Ohio States
man thus comments:
1t is charged that these fast express
companies, made up of railroad Off
Gals, are not only injurious to the
railroad interests of the State, but are
exceedingly damaging to the interests
Of those owning railroad stock and ex-
pecting dividends. These fast freight
lines control the freight transportation,
and those who do not send their goods
by these lines at an enhanced cost, find
them unaccountably delayed. The
price these companies pay for the
transportation of the ears on which
this fast freight is carried is said to be
far from remunerative to the road or
to the stockholders outside of the
Ring-the railroad officials owning and
controlling the fast freight lines using
the roads to their own advantage.
We trust the railroad Committee
will give the subject due consideration,
and if the charges made are found to
be true, that prompt action, by the
passage of a stringent law, will do
away with the evil. IL cry ls-
