How Business Men View II.


As a business man, doing business in Augusta,
we desire to thank you for the strong position
you have taken in regard to the recent NJ. c.
swndle, and also avail ourselves of the courtesy Of
your columns, 10 say werd in reply to the argu-
ments of Mr.. Boothby. Now, Mr. Editor, the
idea that the reduction in local rates is any COM
pensation for the great advance on through rates
is simply ridiculous. Who ever heard of first
class Bangor or Augusta merchants going to
Portland 10 purchase goods Portland is sim
ply way station, just the same as Augusta, Hall
Dwell or Gardiner, and TWEEN y -four out OF twen-
ty-hve mel chants doing business in Maine, are
obliged to avail themselves of the larger markets
of New York and Boston; and it is fact beyond
dispute that of every NJ. T.. train entering Port.
land, seven eights OF the passengers are through
to Boston or some intermediate station. So when
one passenger receives q reduction of ten per
cent, eight are advanced twenty. The merchants
OF Vermont and New Hampshire can reach the
market at least twenty-five per cent. cheaper than
those OF Maine. and when you take into account
the hard work and rigid economy our merchants
are obliged to practice in order to make q living,
to say nothing of any accumulated profit, this re-
cent advance 10 rates can only be regarded a. an
unjust swindle. If we mistake not, the mer-
chants of the Penobscot and the Kennebec will
remember that for eight months at least they are
out OF the clutches of the NJ. G.. and can avail
themselves Of some other mode of transportation
for themselves and their freight. We think, Mr..
Editor, you deserve the thanks Of the business
men Of Augusta. particularly when the position
OF some papers are taken into account, who pos
slby, in consideration Of some favor, are willing
TO sacrifice the interests of the public whom they
profess to serve.
