A GREAT EcoNoMIo TRUTH.


resenting the reduction in the average
freight charge from year to year on the
railroads of the United States, proves the
great economic and commercial truth
that in a vast country where the most
extensive and forceful com bination has
been consummated which the world ever
saw, there has been simultaneously de-
veloped competition of unparalleled in
tensity ard effectiveness for the benefit of
every body not interested financially in
the stock or bonds Of railroad companies.
CHEAPEST RATES IN THE WORLD.
From the Atlantic to the Pacific, and
from the Lakes to the Gulf, the people of
the United States now enjoy the advant-
ages afforded by the most extensive, the
most expeditions, and the cheapest rail-
road transportation on the globe. At last
the truth inculcated by the stern lessons
of experience has flashed upon the
minds of legislators and of the
whole country that the solution of
the American railroad problem lies in
the direction of the perfection of that vast
and complex organism, the American
railroad system.
