It will be seen from the above that the
rates of the Manitoba Railroad are lower
than those of the largest roads doing the
heaviest traffic out of ST. Louis.
The following is a comparison of the
rates of the Manitoba Railroad with the
rates charged from Iowa points to Chicago.

RAILWAY RATES.

In looking over the report of the rail-
road commissioner for the year Just ended,
find that he shows - although he makes
no mention of the fact large redue-
tons in the rates received by the railroads
since the legislature was in session two
years ago. According to the railroad COM
missioner's report the average rate per ton
per mile for 1Ss2 was Psi cents, and it
was thought at that time, considering the
service performed, the rate was low enough.
BY referring to the commissioner report
for 1sS3, page 269, you will find that the
Manitoba road carried 81. 53e. 9g1 tons one
mile. The average rate for 1883 per ton
per mile was 1.95 cents: the Manitoba
railroad received for the transportation of

On the item Of expense chargeable to 10

On the mileage Of the Rock Island road the

for proof Of this see their last annual re-
port and make the comparison.
The item Of coal alone costs three times
as much. delivered on the tender of the
average road in Minnesota, as the same
coal costs on the Rock Island or Chicago and
Northwestern Railroad, and the amount of
coal consumed is largely increased owing
to The severe weather, while, on the other
hand, the haul of the other roads is greatly
reduced.
Several bills have been introduced regu-
lating railroad rates, but all these bills
would increase the rate of transportation
at more stations than would be benefited
by reduction, and one Of the bills would
shut out the entire northern part Of this

the shipper to pay five cents per bushel
more to that point than has been the rate
heretofore. / will not take your time

FROM IOWA REPORT:
Since writing the above the commits
siOners have received additional informa-
ton which they deem it proper to make
public. Eleven of the railroads Of Iowa
which carry the bulk Of the grain to mar
ket, in answer to our inquiries, report
there has been no increase of rates, and the
commissioners are satisfied that rates have
not been raised for several years and that
the roads are generally carrying at or below
the rates agreed upon with the commits
sioners in 1878, which was a slight reduc-
ton below rates prescribed in what is COM
monty known as the granger law. ,"
Here they pride themselves that the
rates have not been raised since 1873, while
in Minnesota / have shown you that your
rates have been reduced until they are
to-day lower than those Of any other West
ern state, and this without any fixing OF
rates on the part Of the State.
The Iowa commissioners addressed let
ter to Mr. Perkins, president of the Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad Com
pany, the object Of which was to ask the
railroads to consider reduction of Their
rates on grain from western Iowa to Chi.
cagO. Mr.. Perkins, on the twenty-foUrth
Of December, replied:
The railroads have 30 vital an interest
in the welfare Of the community that they
can sometimes afford to lose money tempo
rarily, if necessary, to help tide over bad
times. Railroad prices, like all othel
prices, ought to be adjusted by experience
by feeling our way. Entertaining thest
views, / believe the managers Of the roads
west Of Chicago would have reduced the
grain rate before this, if they felt that they
could do 80 with safety to the propertie;
they have in their keeping, but they reason
in this way: they say experience show;
that when a rate is once made it can never
be raised without exciting public clamor.
They say it is somewhat uncertain Just
now whether it is the railroad tariff OF
something else which is chiefly operating

WASHINGTON, November 23.-Advices
have been received at the Interior De
partment to the effect that the cattle
men in the western Territories are
generally observing the proclamation
by President Cleveland last August, di-
recting the removal of fences enclosing
public lands. In Wyoming. however,
the owner of a cattle ranch hasnOt only
refused to remove the fences already
CONSTRUCTED, but has begun 70 extend
them, and in this case the Attorney
General has been requested TO bring suit
10 compel the observance of the laws.
The point has been raised, whether the
cattle men may fence in their land.
when the tracts belong to them, but sur
round areas of public lands. This has.
been decided in the negative, the de-
partment holding that access to the
public lands must not be restricted.
