was 1914 cents hundred pounds: in Febru-
airy. 1900 the rate was % cents a hundred
pounds. a difference of 91a cents per hum
dred pounds, practically cents bushel
corn. Which of these rates was right?
Which reasonable and just? The 1871
cent rate was voluntarily made by the rail-
roads, and 1t is fair to presume that they
could carry corn at that rate and make
fair profit. The farmers of the United
States grew . .20O, 100000 bushels of corn in
1899, and the price of corn Is affected
all over the country by the cost of trans
portation, out of this one crop. the selling
value reduced by the action of the
railroads $l32O00,oO0. and this, too, with
out the farmers having one word to say
about it. Protests are unavailing. All APP
peal to the interstate commerce commits
sion, under the present law, would do no
good. as the decision of the Supreme Court
In 1897, gives them no power to fix rates
or to enforce a just one.
Mr.. NJ. f. Ingalls, said in an address in
May 1898: "A slight improvement in the
rates which would be scarcely felt, would
make this investment good. One mill per
ton per mile, or one-tenth of a cent adj
ditional, last year, would have made $685.
0O0,G00 increase IN net revenues. and this
would have paid three per cent upon this
invested capital If so small a change of
freight rates brings sunch vast revenues
to the railroads, what would be the stupend-
Gus amount. IL all the freights were raised
in like proportion to the raise made on
corn from February, 1899, to February
1909?

tice, equity or fairness why the farmers of
the great corn belt Of the world should be
compelled to pay a rate that almost pre-
cludes a possibility Of profit? Is there no
redress? Can the government of the United
States afford no protection to the property
rights of that large CLASS of It's citizens
who produce 70 per cent of the wealth that
flows into the channels of trade, and make
it possible for all Industries, including these
same great transportation companies, to
prosper and grow wealthy? VIII a repub-
lie, where the government is supposed to
give 10 all its citizens an equal protection

about one-tenth of the wealth of the ma
ton. to so manage Its business as to prac-
tically fix the calue of ali the other prom
erty of the country: to build up one local
ity; to destroy another locality: to give
special privileges and facilities to certain
men, that they may monopolize all busi-
ness in their lines and crush all men en-
gagged in competition with them? I do not
believe that it will. When the people shake
off their lethargy and demand of their rep
resentatiyes in Congress remedial legisla-
ton and hold them personally responsible
for their action, such remedies as Senate
bill No. 1889 will give them. will be passed

The tulIOnl Bill.


Upon thu subject of transport ton the
worthy master referred to Senate bill No.
1859. known as the Cullum bill and stated
the provisions of the bill. He then cited i'll
stances OF gross injustice TO the small ship
per under the present system of fixing
freight rates. and said:
Mr. Mitchell president Of the United
Niue Workers % America, in his public let
ter, dated September 81 1900, In relation
TO the anthracite mine workers strike
stated that nine railroad companies. which
ne named had absolute control of the
transportation Of all the anthracite coal
mined In Pennsylvania that they charge
for carrying that coal three times as much
per per mile is charged for carving
biturninous coal. II this is true, and L have
seen no denial or contradiction of IT. IL is a
ease OF discriminat ton or oppression and
wrong that affects the cost of warming the
homes Of millions Of the American people.
Cuts on Grain Rates.
The Chicago Tribune of February l. 1900
said: 1t was charged and not contradIcted
at the meeting Of the Chicago committee of
the Central Freight Association yesterday
that cuts on grain rates, of much as i
and cents per 100 pounds, were made TO
shippers from Chicago TO New York
Again. the same paper says, In its issue of
February p, 1900, Grain was taken at a
rate Of 10 cents from Chicago TO New York
II cents 10 Philadelphia and 10 cents to Bal
tiWOre. IhtS Is n cut or nearly 30 per cent.
Large and influential shippers only secured
this low cut rate, while small shippers were
charged full tariff rates. Compare these
