they inteliigently and honestly accepted the
position assigned them by the courts and
by the voice of public opinion, While there
hasbeen steady production in rates, the facts
will not war; ant such q conclusion. Hence,
have said that our railroads are again en-
tering upon career of lawless independ!

this state clothed with authority sufficient
to restrain them. They are apprehensivs
of some expression Of public opinion, but
dare to go to the verge Of arousing that

THE INDICTMENT AGAINST rHRH- s
We here form no specific Indictment,
but we allege that it is of official informa-
ton that they uniformly discriminate as
against, or for, localities and individuals;
that local tariff rates,away from competing
points, are frequently, almost generally,
extortionate; that such, rates bear no
proper proportion to cost; that they arbi-
trarily seek to control the number and
size of elevators at stations, thus restrict
ing the freedom Of business; that thou
sands of dollars are granted in rebates.
this to large shippers against the
principle Of perfect r equality in
burdens and privileges; that where five
/ cents per mile is charged for passenger
1 tariffs, it bears No just relation to cost;
| that railway lines in their connections and
relations with each other, have. but Little
regard to serving the public convenience.
