TIOPES THAT IT WILL BE DROKEN UP, Thoe managoers of tho various railroads leading frowm this city to tho Enst aro begioning to real- Iza that tho merchants and sluppers of Chicago and the Northwest will not mneh longer atand tho outrageons and unjustifinblo divcrimination iu freiglit cherges fram which $his city Lins boen suffering goverely for noma timo peat. Thoy hinvo gono to Now York with thelr Genoral Su- perintendents and General Freight Agents to havo a cousullation withthe two great railrond dictators, Scott and Vanderhilt, and to imploro them to o gomething by which tho rates can be better equalized aud tho Chicago people pacified, #i0co elso the pool will bo smarhed, ‘Tho millers ol this city futepd to hold a moss-mooting in & day or two and take such action as will compel tho pool lines to giva them tho samo pelvileges at least thas are accorded to the 3linnosots and Wisconeln miilors, ‘I'ho railroad managers ars awaro of the fuct that theso men are ju earnost, and henco their anxioty to sotlo tho matier bee fore it Is too Iato, Aund it is ehameful how TUZ NILUERS OF THIS CITY are treatod by tho railroads, Now facts camo to light yestorday which shiow that the discrimina- tions made againet thelr products are far worso than atated tn Tue TrisoNe of last Friday. It in now learned that tho manngors of the pool lines have mado a privato agreement with the willers of Minnesota aud Wisconsin by which tholr producta are shipped at 10 conts less from this city than the products of tho Chicago millere. Wlulo frotn hero Y0 cents i3 charged on a barrel of flour mado in Illinols aud Clicago, only 80 conts per barrel is charged on flour mado in Minnesots or Wisconsin, Tho rato from Chi- cogo nud Milwaukeo is tho samo by all the lines excopt the Detroit & Milwanlkeo and the Grand Prupk lizes, which are not in tho pool, and hence chiargo 10 cents less from tho latier city to New York than tho lowest prica accordod to the Minnosota millers by tho pool lines, and thus it comes that the millors of Minnesota and Wikcon~ slu cen ship thoir llour to Now York for 70 conts por barrel, while Chicazo millers liavo to pay 40 conts por barrel. This is undoubtudly the most outragoous and unjnet discrimination ovar mado ogainst tho producers and shippers of any city 1 tho country, and substantintes the chargos herotoforo mada that the pool was engiueored {or tho purpose of PUNISIING THE PEOPLE OF TIIS CITY for thetr opposition to o Heott's Pacitlo Rail- road grab. It is aulonmumf that tho millets of this city have stood it so long without taking some moasuro sgamat sitch oxtortion, and it is tumored that somo of the large mon in this city havo auade contracts with Heott's Biar Union Lino by wbich their products aro carried forward at lower rates thau tho othors, snd for this reason thoy havo thus far kept so quiet, Tho Lot thing for Chicago millora to do 1u to refuse to mnkowny moro shipmenta Ly the Chicago poalad hines.” 'Thoy can whip thelr flour vis bil- woukoo and the Grand drunk Raflway to New Yorkr, In this way they not only punish the pool lives for their action, but slio sayo 12 ceuta por bartel by tho operation, as will bo #con by the following fligures: Tho Milwaukeo & Bt.
