DEFENDS INCREASE
IN FREIGHT RATES
Manufacturers and Whole
SalerS Would Stand Burden,
Prof. Mcpherson Says.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1O-Prof. Logan
G. Mcpherson, lecturer on trapsporta-
ton at Johns Hopkins University, and
a recognized expert on railroad mat
tiers. saws in an interview on the freight
rate problem;
III the railroads contine their advances
TO the rates on finished products, and
keep the increase within 10 per cent. 1t
is the manufacturer or, at the farthest,
the wholesaler that will have to stand II.
These men well know this TO Oe the
case and it is, therefore, from associa-
tions Of such men that the protests
have come. They are fighting in behalf
OF their own pockets
Where Consumers Suffer.
If the railroads extend the increase
to the raw materials OF manufacture the
price to the consumer in some cases
may be affected. This will not, how
ever, be IN the case OF shoes, the aver
age freight charges on raw material
entered into an ordinary pair Of mems
shoes being but IA cents.
''Nor viii II he the case with wooden
goods. The transportation charge on
the raw material that enters into no
end OF articles Is so slight that it is
unknown to the manufacturers them
selves.
The rate Of freight on raw material
IN general is negligible IN comparison
with the fiuctuation in prices caused by
a large supply and a poor demand or
vice versa. To such fluctuations manu-
faCtUTers are pretty well accustomed
and they cannot be eIuded by appeal TO
public opinion.
Rafter A HE to Paw
when II comes 10 the question as 10
whether the manufacturers or the rail-
roads should have the amount repre-
scented by a 10 per cent increase in the
rates Of freight upon manufactured
products It is to be remembered that,
according TO the Government reports,
the average net return to capital in
manufacture was Isl per cent, while
the average net return TO the capital
OF railroads was but "A per cent. II is
less now.
There has been no announcement
that the railroads propose 10 advance
the rates on the products OF the farms,
the plantations, and the orchards.
Even In the case of the products Of
the soil, however, 1t should be remem-
bered that, Notwithstanding the mani
fold enhancement in the value OF the
farms, the net profit 10 the capital in
agriculture for 1905 averaged 9.8 per
cent, which contrasts favorably with
the pront 10 the railroads OF but A
