THE "HEEps" OF C0MpLAINT.
The large aeed-housc Of Briggs d Dro., Of
Rochester, own an extensive farm near Clinton,
Iowa. devoted to raising soed. Tho aocd culti-
vatcd here arc fret shipped to Roohostorin bulk,
and thon distributed {romthero throughout tho
country. BY this means much Of tho seed sold
In the West pays double freight ovor 1000
miles. Apparently, 1t could he sold in the West
tion both ways. Messrs. Briggs l. Bro.
have publishod an explanation In tho
Clinton Qowa) Herald. They allego that It has
been their desire to establish at Clinton distrib-
nting bureau for tho Wost. and tho reason why
they havo not done 30 Ia because the local freight
rates from Clinton to many points in Illinois,
Town, Wisconsin, Missouri, and Kanshs Rro
higher than from Rochester, OF evon from New
York City, to tho Same points. Tho explanation
Of thia is, that from Rochester or New York
shippers have the benefit Of competition, and tho
main lines succeed in making combinations with
local lines which enable them to put thoir
through rates for 1000 milea lower than Bomo Of
the local ratea from Clinton to stations not half
80 far awny. Tho Eastern shippers also eecnre
outgoing rates for tho seeds wAich they bring
from thair farm to Rochester. It ia probable
that tho mattor Of rasos alone would not account
for the difference; but tho firm has it's depot al-
ready established In Rochester, has 10 600 sauaro
feet OF flooring on which 1t works between 800
md 400 persons. and would DO obliged to ship its
paper from Tho East and SGT up machinery at
in tho diatancos,- -sending freight twice oyor
Journey Of 1000 miles or aontling it q single
Journey OF d few hundred miles at the most
ought to overcome the other advantages Of tho
present arrangement. It ia fair to assume that
1t would do 10 II 1T woro not for tho combiua-
tions betwoon the trunk lines and local roads.
