Freight Rates Go Down.

The Hill roads have taken the con-
tract to maui the government supplies
from Chicago territory to the Philip
pines at 40 cents per hundred, or s.
per ton, in carload lots. This would be
all right if the matter was confined to
supplies of the government going in
large shipments, but the rate is to be
applied to all sorts of commodities, not
only for the government, but for gen
eral consumption in the islands, and
this is where the trouble lies. The
rate of 40 cents per hundred all the
way through is low enough, but the
important fact lies in the divisions ap-
portioned to the water and rail lines.
In other words, the railroads get for
the haul from Chicago territory to Pa
cific coast points only 20 cents per
hundred.
With the rates applied to all goods
and articles the jobbers around Chi
cago, st. Paul and Minneapolis will
reap harvest and the Pacific jobbers
will be entirely cut out.
