FOR LOWER EXPRESS RATES.
CIRCULAR ISSUED BY THE MERCHANTS
ASSOCIATION.

CIRCULAR ISSUED BY THE MERCHANTS
ASSOCIATION
The Merchants Association is making vigorous
crusade against the general express companies for
lower rates from this CITY, and from other points.
The association gives many reasons for entering
upon this warfare and these reasons are set forth
in a circular entitled Express Companies Ter
m!nal Charges" which the association has pre-
pared and issued for distribution ir every section
of the country. In this circular, recently Issued
the association says that "rece II exhibit OF COM
paratve freigh. and express charges between
New-York about three hundred other points
In this State. show d that express charges ranged
from about zoo per cent to nearly 1000 per cent OF
freight charges" The gist of this examination OF
the freight and express charges with other state
ments relative TO the subject. recently printed
in local newspaper. When asked for reply TO
the article by a representative Of the newspaper.
the president of one of the express companies in
question handel to the reporter partial reply
copy of the official publication OF the railroad
and express interests. containing the following
paragraphs:
forms is the terminal serviceHa service entirely
away from the railroads and stations. the colec-
scieic. OF the express business and this terminal
expense. including care while in transit. but not
and 60 per cen, OF the gross revenue.
oocaD expresses are about two HUNDRED
and fifty thousand packages are received and for
warded in year, ana the minimum rate rs 10 cents
for the smallest package increasing with the size
and weight 10 any adjoining town to the city OF
Boston. This service Of collection and delivery.
being performed by the same men and teams. with
out use of the railroad. establishes a wagon basis
for the minimum ate charge.
The rates OF all express companies fair and
reasonable for the service rendered
In reference to the article quoted the Merchants
Association says:
The question is made very simple by the foregoing
admissions that the chief service is the terminal
service and that the service OF collection and de-
livery as performed by competing local expresses
establishes minimum rate OF charge.
The element Of railroad carriage Is eliminated
entirely The essential likeness OF the service OF
local and general express companies Is conceded.
The charges OF the local companies are conceded
a proper basis. and nothing remains but this: What
are the local express companies charges for coec
ton and delivery? And the charges Of the gen
eral express companies equivalent? The nominal
local charge Is cents for package not exceeding
grades down from Is cents to az low eigh' cents
and wherever the general express companies
pete with the local express companies they meet
the lattcr's prices.
