No Exactions.No Extra Charge

The Baltimore and Ohio is still on
deck and more saucy than ever when
it comes to talking out in meeting
for the interests of the travelling pub
lie, as against the exactions of some
other and would be rival lines. Its
latest shot into the camp of the high
priced and fancy fixings lines is a hot
one, and already there is squirming
and twisting to get away from the
inevitable. But there is no us of
kicking against the prodding, and
the average man now adays knows
thing or two which all the cunning
~ constructed advertisements Of those
who want the whole earth, and then
not get enough, cannot blind him to
the actual state of affairs. To pay
eight or ten dollars extra for the
simple riding on road that assumes
all there is in life worth having is all
bosh, aud no longer will the divi-
dends of railroad company and sub
sidiary corporations alike swell at
the expense of an ver-confding pub
lie. The B. and o. has itself gone
into the "limited'' express train bus
mess, and, as is ever the rule with
everything done BY the solid old cor
poration, the people profit, and would
be rival lines vince. On all the
limited trains of other routes .

the regular ticket rate, and the pas
senger, whether it be his choice or
not, has to pay another extra in the
shape of sleeping car fare. If he de-
clines to accept the conditions so
arbitrarily exacted, he has perforce
to go on a slow train, as, accord
ing to the latest principles Of
these autocratic companies, fast
time is only for The wealthy. On
the B. and o. the best is ever deem
ed the honest due of all, and the
great American maxim that every
man is his own master to follow his
own sweet will has ever been the all
governing rule OF it's half century and
more of existence In other words,
there are no extra charges of any
character whatsoever on the B. and
o., aud, figuratively speaking, if a
man don't want hash, he don't have
to take it. If he desires a sleeper,
parlor car, there it is, and the rate
for accommodations is only the reg
ular standard figure, not doubled up,
as on other lines, in the interest of
an already all-powerful and rich
sleeping car combination.
