The Other Side.

The 1"llowing circular speaks for itself and is indeed a "stren- nous effort " 'CNot having mo- nOp0ly" are words which, as ap- piled to the A. & P, admit very frankly that the w. U. has got one. In Arizona one thing is very clear, to wit: that before the A. 6S P. wires reached the Colorado we all paid enormous tolls on mes sages and that since then we have had the cheapest rates in the world:
 OFFICE OF WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH COMPANY, SAN DIEGO, Cal. Aug. 15 1877.
 SIR: Since the completion of tie railroad to Fort Yuma, a strenuous effort has been made by that company to do away with the Military telegraph connecting Yuma with San Diego, so that the railroad could mo- noponoliZe the telegraph as well as the railroad business, when the public would have to pay eXhorbitant rates for telegrams as well as they do now for freight.
 Not having the monopoly of the tele- graph business, that company pretend to be public lenefact0rs by reducing the rate for telegrams which, However, are in no c'se lower than by the Western Union line. If the railroad company really desire to do the public service let them reduce their freights.
 This communication is rendered necessa ry in consequence of circulars having been sent out by the agents of the Railroad tcle graph line, asking the public to transfer or request the Military line operate to send all business by what is called the "A & r." line There is no A. .S ? line on this coast, the line of the railroad company merely making a connection with the lin .s of the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Com pany at Ogden, and that company having but limited number of wires Thus your telegramS have to run the gauntlet of rail road service messages when sent by that line, while if sent by the Western Union. the lines of which are devoted exclusively to commercial business, and connect with every State and Territory in the Union, your business will receive prompt attention and save great delays and the many repetitions that are required when sent by any other source. In many eases the Otherlines take messages for transmission to points which can only be reached by the Western Union line, and which have to be transferred to the lines of this company at some other point, thus causing unnecessary delay and 1 ln some cases extra charges.
 To have your telegramS promptly and 1 correctly transmitted, direct them to be | sent by the Western Union line, the great | 3St commercial telegraph of the world.
 Very respectfully yours,
 J. W. THOMPSON,
 Manager Western Union Telegraph Co.
