Atlantic ports to the European markets.
but also Ia the comparative cheapness
of our transportation by rail. Reducing

can equivalent the rate on wheat BY rail
ON the leading Iadian railways In March,
1888, was little less than one cent mile
per ton, as against less than two-thirds
Of cent ON the lines between Chicago

average rates OF four Indian roads is
fully so per cent. higher than the rate
en- the American lines between these
two cities, while the advant tages on the
side OF the United States is very much
greater still il Indian rates are compared
with our rates by lake aad canal, or
even by lake and rail, the former being
but little more than one-third Of cent,
and the latter being less than one half q
cent per ton per mile.
