that he company charge him no less for the
service performed for him than it charges any
body else for the same or a smaller service
This Is the spirit of the statute, as interpreted
by the arguments of its trainers in public de-
bate and even by the utterances of the anti
monopolist agitators outside of Congress-
There Is no purpose on the part Of any honest
man, whether friend of the railroads or not
to demand that the ordinary rule of wholesale
and retail patronage shall not apply to their
traffic; and no reasonable man, certainly, ex-
poets it. If the y. and o. company had pro-
posed to carry one group of forty passengers at
two cents mile, while it was charging other
groups of forty passengers three cents for
transportation over the same ground and at the
same season, that would have been a different
matter, and proper cause for calling the cor
porEtion to account.
