Reduction in Freipbt Rate.

In 1864 and 1855 the average freight
rates per ton per mile on the Pennsyl-
vania railroad were 2.49S cents and
2.715 cents, respectively. In 1908 the
freight rate per ton per mile was
0.6O5 cent. Protection by cheaper
ing rails from $160 to $2S per ton and
by increasing the demand for trans
portation has reduced rates 20 per cent,
has doubled wages and benefited every
one.
