Something for Railroad Commissioner
Hill to Consider.

Editor iStGatut0n V51dicator:
find the following important notice in the
newspapers;
Commissioner Blanchard has just author
lied reduction in east-bOund grain rates to
a basis OF 20 cents, Chicago to New York, eff
fective May This reduction makes the rate
from Illinois 10 per cent. points to baltimore
10 cents per 100 lbs instead OF 24I as hereto
fore; from Indiana 100 per cent. points, II in
stead of % cents, and Ohio so per cent. points,
Is instead of II cents"
Will you bear in mind while reading this
was the rate on wheat from Chicago to New
York, 1000 miles, which went into effect on
May 9th, that in Virginia the Chesapeake &
Ohio charges Is cents for 100 lbs from Clifton
Forge to Richmond, not 200 miles; IL cents
for 100 lbs. from StauntOn to Richmond 1856
miles, and nearly third as much from Staun-
ton to Basic City. only IL miles
Will you further consider that the G. & O.
charges per car load fol wheat from Buffalo
Gap to Stauntnn, 10 miles, 6 cents per 100 lbs
and that this same wheat, II ground into flour
in StauntOn, then has - cents more to pay to
get to Richmond, the Chesapeake & Ohio re-
fusing to give stop over rates for the Staunton
mills as it does for the Richmond mills
Reflect that this same road allows shippht
from points west Of Chicago OF Louisville to
stop his wheat en- route, have 1t ground into
flour, and then by the payment OF S. per car
extra for this privilege have it shipped on at
through rates, but that this privilege is not
permitted to the Staunton mills.
Of course every clog put oil tina shipment Of
prOduct COMES finally out Of the pocket of
the grower Of that product. This being so

This is published by the VINDICAToR in the
singular belief that it is creditable to the
Democrats of Augusta. They are so given
over to their strange infatuation for the gen.
tleman from New York as to take pleasure in
turning their backs upon faithful and tried
son OF theiy owl State, in the Senate. at the
seat of the Government. who tries to war;;
them of the fatal delusion that Mr. Cleveland
is the proper candidate of the National De
mocracy. They prefer Cleveland to Daniel
and the logic of their action is that they ore
fer Cleveland to their pafty's success. They
are welcome to the honor the VlND1cAro1
ascribes to them.-Nortolk Landmark.
Can it be that our esteemed Norfolk co

BILE that the Democrats Of county that

refused to adopt the suggestions OF g, S

neither credit nor honor? A free Demo
