THE TEJEGRdPH's NEW RITES,
The Result OF the Recent Arrangement he
tween the Two Great Companies.

The officers OF the Western Union and the
Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Companies have
decided upon the general terms OF new tariff
OF rates. concerning which President Orion
says:
L verify believe that for every increase
there are ten reductions. Our policy is TO en-
courage business by low rates wherever the
volume Of business will justify low rates. For
several months there have been three classes Of
rates for the same distances. viz. I. Rates be-
tween competing stations. which. with few en-
ceptions. have been rs cents flor ten wordsl
without regard to distances 2. Rates between
competing and non-compcting stations which
have been 25 cents to 81 for ten words and g.
Rates between non competing stations in the
same territory. from % cents TO % for ten words
To cqualizc these ratios without making too
great an increase in some cases. and too great
q reduction in others. WIS n difficult task.
Under the new tariff our first step will be- the
extension OF tho % cent rate in the territory
cast " the Mississippi river from % miles. ns
norctoiorm To lOl miles IN an mir line from each
station. This will be q reduction in ycry, many
Instances, but II Will thoroughly establish local
tegrnphc communication throughout all
scttled regions. and will tend to increase
business largely. From many stations the re-
duction will be D. 10. or 10 cents on ten words.
Then we propose TO fix 81 for ten words as
the mnNimum rate between all stations east Of
the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. BY this
change the rates between numerous stations in
Iowa and Missouri. and others in New England
and the Atlantic coast States, will be reduced 81 ,
while a considerable number Of rates between
stations In the southern and several Of the
Northern and Eastern States will DO reduced 2j
AMI 30 cents respectively.
From New York. Philadelphia and Balti-
moro the rates 70 CINCINNATI and Chicago are to
be- 80 cents. From New York To- Washington,
Albany and Boston the competitive rate t2j
cents il 70 hc unchanged. Local rates through
out New York and New England are to remain
