DIRECT FREIGHT CONNECTIONS.

I
Chicago has at last come 10 a rea-
LIKING sense of her true condition from
a freight standpoint. And that not
| withstanding her rapid and wonderful
| increase in population she is playing
second fiddle to New York in freight
matters. In all commodities that nat
| uraliy seeks the eastern SeabOard. or
an export market Chicago is strictly
| in it, But since the home market is
! becoming appreciated Chicago finds
that there is a large and growing bus
| mess in the south from which she is
practically cut off on account OF freight
determinations. Under the present
| freight tariff Chicago can only reach
the southeastern trade or the states of
Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, North
and South Carolina, by sending their
shipments via New York, while Chi
cago is much nearer in point Of dis
lance. In other words the long haul
of more than double the distance is
cheaper. And as quick shipments are
the life of trade it amounts TO an en-
barge and shuts Chicago out. For in
stance an ordinary buggy can be ship
ped from Chicago via New York for
$500 less than by direct route to At
lanta, Ga, either all rail or rail and
water. Although Chicago is 100 miles
nearer Atlanta than New York is AS
early as 1890 the Eagle entered a
strong protest upon the condition of
rates and its effect upon Wichita and
from Kansas to Chicago, thence 10
New York to reach points in North
Carolina, or four times the distance
for less than a direct shipment would
cost. Such shipments were to the ad-
vantage of Chicago, but when she
wants TO distribute her home manu-
featured products she finds that what
worked an injury TO western towns
effects her in the same manner and
when she corrects the evil the western
towns will be proportionally benefit
ted. Nearly a year ago Wichita in
auSurated movement called the
South and West Grain and Trade
congress, the object of which was not
only to send our surplus to the nearest
udewater but to promote better and
closer trade relations with the interior
south and southeastern states. 1t de-
veloped that for some reason che rail
roads had no desire 10 encourage a
direct haul or enhance their business.
and the movement was far from the
success it ought to have been. The
time may come under a more enlight-
ened condition, when the general pub
lie will understand why railroad
built in the same general direction of
naVlgable stream, Or has to compete
with lake or ocean rates can do bus
mess for so much less than one remote
from water traffic. While we complain
that our shipment must first go to Chi
cagO, Chicago complains that her ship
ments have to go to New York. The
management of railroads upon tradi-
lions and the continuing in old ruts cut
out fifty years ago will hardly be con-
tinued under economical conditions I'M
less railroads have been built for fun
and their stockholders invest for loss.
What the public demands is direct
freight connections which viii give
each trade center the business they are
entitled TO and the advantage of their
location.

the doctor of an opportunity to Sc
cure some good players. Sage will
cast his glimmers over the Peoria
diamond sharks. and if they are what
they are cracked up to be, he will re-
turn with several additions to The
Tri-City club. whose composition will
compare favorably with any of the
minor league clubs. and this is q
guarantee that We will have Just as
good exhibitions as We had last
season.
