How about that?
What is the cause Of itp
RAILROAD and steamship discrimination
against u.s." respond all the tea merchants.
They are right. THE CALL has looked
into the matter very carefully, and the re-
suit of its investigation is given in what
follows. Here is the key to the whole ques-
tion: Heavily subsidized by the railroads
SI,OO0,OO0 a year-and by the Government
$500, 600 to 5000 a year-the Pacific Mail
smiles at competition and looks placidly on
while roundabout lines of transportation
take away its freight traffic.
Let 1t ge," say they; we're making
money enough cut Of our subsidies"
To this apathetic attitude San Francisco
owes her loss of trade in tea. as we'll as in
many other things. Look at these figures
Rate tea per pound from Yokohama
to salt Lake City, ria San Francisco 2$4 C
Rate tea per pound from Yokohama
to Salt Lake City, rid Portland, Ore
Is it any wonder that our merchants make
complaint?
Our trade is slipping away from US. y
they cry. what are we going to do?"
If it were only the tea men who are inter.
ested in this question of discrimination by
the transportation companies, there need be
no great to-do about this question. But the
discrimination affects all lines OF business
even to real estate.
