The merchants, railway corporations,

towns, but they have uniformly worked
together. II our merchants and railroad
men had displayed but half the energy,
had passed fewer resolutions and done
more real work, New York, with her mag

with uniform freight rates from Chicago
to the Atlantic seaboard cities, aud proper
terminal facilities here, would flow in this
direction us naturally and as steadily as
the waters of the Mississippi flow into the
Gulf of Mexico. 1t behooves New York
TO secure her portion Of the immense aud
constantly growing corn trade of this
county. Every year vast regions Of
hitherto virgin soil are planted in
corn, and there seems really no
limit to Cur capabilities for the produc-
ton o. this cereal. As a single instance.
we Will mention the fact that the corn
production OF Kansas increased from SIX
teen millions of bushels in 1874 to eighty
millions in 1873. With uniform freight
rates, irrespective Of mileage, from Chica-
go to the Atlantic seaboard cities, New
York can always command her full share
of the grain trade CO the great West. Let
us see to !; tnat those who champion our
cause, while defending and protecting
their own interests, receive every support
from this community.

lsctor of Internal Revenue in 1865, and up 10
1871 continued In that position. In the last

he said had been stolen from him by some dep
uty collectors whom he had appointed to please
bis friend, Sir. Delano, then Commissioner OF
Internal Revenue. However. this state Of al
fairs did not dampen his ardor or aspirations
for ONCE or promotion. In 1872 Atkins was a
successful applicant for the ONCE of Collector
Of the Port of Savannah. 1t was ascertaiDed
soon after this event that he was a defauiter in
the sum Of $1,000 including the $4,000 taken
by Deano's deputies. He recently got tin

This trade is now rapidly returning to
us. While the roads running TO Philadel-
phia and Baltimore were permitted TO
carry grain from Chicago to those cities at
schedule rates five cents per one hundred
pounds cheaper than our New York roads
carried it to this city, the trade naturally
left us. All manner of reasons, outside of
the real one, were given for this diversion
of the grain trade. Want of terminal IA
