THE NEW TARtEr. ..
Several members Of tho Local board Rtated to
TRIBUNE reporter yesterday that the tariff pro-
posed BY tho National Board, and adopted by the
tocha Board at ita meeting Wednesday aftor-
noon differed but little from tho tariff previous
ly adopted by tho Chicago Board; tho only dr.
foreuco waa In tho manner Of rating mercantile
buildings, which arc little higher on tho tartd
proposed By tho National Bonrd, hut yet much
iowor than the rates TINT a.iRted during last
summer and winter. Ia fact, the ratos wore aB
reasonable ~ those Of Any other city and the
nou-l1oAfd companies could not possibly take
risks ut fowor rates and mako money. 4 matori-
" Of the Eoarl aHeuta, howevsr, were opposed
to thu tariff proposed by tho National Hoard, anil
would lAyo pEeiGrred 10 mork under tho still
1oHos tariff previously adopted the Local Board
but largo portion Of tho majority would lhSo
voted With tho minority had they not feared to
loso tho agencies Of their companies By 10 doing.
Much credit Ia duo 10 tlle eleven who voted
against the Uoard. aud thus 1s!tod their occupa-
tlons. Ono would think that common 1ecency
would prerent tho partisans Of tho National
Board In the Local Hoard from revealing tho
names Of theso men. and singliug thon, out for
tue spito OF TINT body. But such is not tho case.
1nArkably mean men, who stand always ready to Do
Rtroy thosc who diner from them. and drive them
out OF business. Several lotteEa have xlready
bcen received from Now York by houo Of the
agents, stating they had boon reported M roting
AgninBt tho National Board tariff, aud ro1uost-
ing them to give ar explanation Of their action.
The members OF tho board who llnve thuA
played tho iniormers should cottainly 10 found
uut 10 that their names could be heu III for tbs
dcteetation OF merchants aud business men. that
they might rcap tho whirlwind they intended to
xOH for pthere.
