IN many church there are 50 many

MR.. ROOT THE MAN.

OFFICIALLY the appointment OF a

Hay has not been announced. but un-

Mr. McCanerty said that for eigh,

UNEQUAL FREIGHT RATES.

The trouble with the railroad
rates is not that they are too high;
it is that they are unequal. Per-
haps they are too high in many
cases, but the evil caused by ex-
cessive charges is small COM
pared with the terrible effects of
crushing out the small shippers
by giving the large shippers re-
bates. 1t amounts to the same
thing as if the government were
to alter the tariff rates at the re-
quest of large importers. The
tariff rates are fixed and are the
same for all importers; public
opinion would not tolerate any,
thing else. Unequal charges in
the tariff would seem too unrea-
sonable for second thought. This
power of the railroads to fix un-
equal rates is in reality the power
to conffscate private property;
to ruin entire communities; to
crush the life out of enterprises.
In the usual course of business a
man has the right to sell whit
he chooses and to whom he
chooses, but the railroads have
no such right for they are serving
the public in the same capacity
as the toll roads or canals.
Suppose the management Of a
toll aoad could charge one farmer
five times as much as it charged
another farmer for the same
