F II Odessa, ON the Appoquinimink river,
the steamers leaving that place carries
thousands and thousands of bushels Of
gram every year.
! Buyers at all the places mentioned
are caught with Il greater or less amount
of wheat on hand, and they are loud in
Their protcstatlonS against such high
handed proceedings by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company.
Members OF the General Assembly
from various parts of the State have been
appealed to, but even if they would
which is doubtful, as the "pcnnsy'
seems to own many OF them body and
sou do anything, they are helpless, as
the Legislature will have no authority to
act in the matter until they enact IL
general Incorporation law as provided
by the new constitution and prominent
men throughout the State have expressed
tn" opinion that it is doubtful if the
Interstate Commerce Commission can
Ito anything t. check this corporation in
its scheme to raise the grain rates.
In this State the present charter OF the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company is prac-
,icaly unlimited and daily the citizens
Of the State see what absolute control
this grasping corporation has over the
Legislature.
For many years the steamboat COM
panes of Delaware have been a source of
great annoyance to the Pennsylvania
Railroad and somc time ago several of
these companies were informed by this
corporation that if the rates for carrying
gram were made any lower trouble
would follow, and it now looks as
though they intended to keep their
word. For years this wealthy, yet un.
relentless corporation had tried to grind
the Delaware farmer 1t has been Il
bitter fight, both in the shipment of
grain, fruit, and other farm products,
but the various steamboat companies
have managed to hold their own thus
far and hereby saved the farmers Of the
State thousands and thousands of dol
lars.
At Drawbridge, Milton, Lebanon,
Smyrna and Odessa from 100000 to
$50, 900 bushels of wheat are shipped by
water. BY the railroad company con-
trolling the elevators, this means an in
crease in the rate OF freight for grain of
from &c. to 3!c. per bushel. The buyers
are practically at the mercy of the rail
road authorities now, and the farmers
throughout the State are taking an
active interest in this new state Of ai-
fairs.
A movement is now on foot, backed by
several influential gentlemen from each
county, to form an organization to fight
tie railroad in this, their latest scheme
to dclraud the Delaware farmer bv
making him pay cxtoltlonate prices for
irclghtlng his grain.
