THE PRICE OF MILK.

THE ExToRTIoNs OF THE RAILROAD COMPANIES
THE BANE OF THE MILK BUSINESS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
There Is great deal being said just about the
high price OF milk In your cityus we think. without
much right reason. Let me explain The milk
dealer In New York pays the farmer two and onohali
cents per quart and he pays the railroad for freight
one and one-hsM cents per quart milk route sells
daily about 200 quarts, at average. say, OF eight
cents. Tho major part Of this 200 quarts Is sold in
these hard times In pint lots Any consumer who
uses four, five or quarts got his milk for seven
cenG II IL exaggeraton to say that to sell tho 200
quarts tho dealer must have at least l26 customers
Now let He pays for his 200 quarts s.. He
sells It for $16 The losses In collections, rs any milk
man will certify, average over 81 so per day. This
leaves him So 60 for the support OF himself and lam
y and for tho feeding and saoeing OF his horse keep
Ing wagon repair. &c, II he sells all out, which nc
often Sonsimss docs not she amount o oyer y large
large income and even this Is liable from death OF or
accident TO his horse 70 be cut down Immensely at any
moment
The real of grievance. and the ono your paper
ought TO show up and force upon the attention OF the
public, Is the enormous freight charged upon milk.
Look Vt It moment vi 81 10 can OF forty quarts,
which the dealer pays for his milk the railroad takes
sixty cents as freight Nearly one-ha the gross pro-
goods or all the dairy farms which send milk to your
city thus Is swallowed up In their capacous nav.
Was ever such tribute exaced out oil any other In
dusIry In the world Tho milk train which goes cvory
morning New York city clears daily 81 600.
Other things camo down with tho hard times, but tho
freight milk never has, aud we fear never will II
seems useless TO 60 the Legislature The railroads
employ as their counsel all tho members from the milk
districts. and that they are elected II Is SO with
Senator Robertson. 1t ~ SO with the late Speaker
Hustled The farmers grow every day poorer and
poorer 1t must be sclf-evident to every reasoning
~, that business be discounted so heavily and
prove remuneralivc.
WHAT needed IS that some great paper Lko tho
HERALD shall take hold OF the matter, and, by
unued effort, force the right TO prevail. II.
