Louis Railroad, ap~ ponred bofors the Committeo, and in roply toa question by Mr, Stovons, etated that his rosd conneetod at Btorling, 11l., with tho Chlcago & Northwestorn Railtond for Chicago. This road waa nearly 300 miles in longth, It was crossod at fivo difforont poiuss by tho Chicagd, Burliug- ton & Quincy Rallroad, st twoby the Clicago & Alton, which also rau parallel, within o stono's throw, for moveral milos, Tho Chl- cago & Northweatorn Iallrona did not prorato with hin line, but compelled it to pay local rates, and thereforo it could not sond any busingss ‘to Chlcago, os thoso rates wero too ligh. Noitber did the Chicago, Durlington & Quiney Raifrond evinco o triendly upirit, and re- fused to toka businesd from the Rockford Rond, oxcept that which wont in ity own cars. This rond at prosent was operated by the Gernian bondliolders who bought at in, 'The prico thoy pad for it was #1,800,000. In the firet placo tha road cost botweon £9,000,600 and &11,000,000. Joat of tho grain t,v'oluu er his road was goin, via tho Laltimora & Otio tailroan, with a brauc of which the Obio & Misetrsippl Road connecta at Boerdstown. This road was giviug bim very favorabla ratea—much lowor thau the regular tarift. Tho Chlcago roads refused to prorate, which provanted Llin from shipping this gram to Olueago. 'Tho Rockfurd Road, bowover, did not suffor from thie, thongh it interrupted its busi- naes, and put it to somo trouble. Beforn tho Ist of Decowbor Ingt tho Chicago & Notthwestern, Chileago, Rock Island & Fa- clific, and Chicago. Durlington & Quincy pro- ratad with lis road, but had dizsontinued sinco. To show how tho action on tho part of theso roads was hurting Chicazo, ho subinitted tho following comparative statement of the businosa done with Chicago whilo thoso roads pro-rated, aud aftorwards ; September, 1374, shipped to Chicago 8,000,000 pounds of grain, and daring October of the samo yoar noarly 0,000,000 pounds. During tho month ot Soptomber, 1875, just aftor theso roads stopped pro-ratiug, ho shupped 2,132,003 poundsa, and 1 October of tho samo yosr only 537,000 pounds. 'Tho local tato on grafn from Storiing to Chicago was now 14 conty, winlo formerly thoy woro charged but 7. This waa tho soto causo of their sockiug an ontlat via: Baardstown, Thoy only began to do businogs with Peorla winco tha Ghicago ronds doprived] them of their Chicago coanectione. Tho principal eauso for this discrimiontion againet his toad was, in bis opinion, that the throe lowa pool lines hiad formed a ring for tho purposo of crushing it, sud ruining its busiuoss, #o 08 to compel the presont management of tho road to soll it to thom at o nomwal sum, Tho question was whetber Chleago could ldly look ou nnd bavo its busincss roined and drivon away to othor points meraly to gratify tho sclfish arord of its raileoads. Thia lino waa not ship- plug ns much grain via_Boardstown aa it did vis 8¢, Louts, e admittod that bo was takiog busi- nees ot cut rates, but e waa compolled to do so by tho Chicago roads. To illustrate how Chi- cago _was imjuted by ite own roads ho atatod that the ratos on mont from Ilnnsus City to New Yorlk wero tho samo as lo Chieago, namely : fificantuflur 100 poundy.

Ilonca much of tho businoss which would coma td> this city was going to tho East wny of that place. Another great trondls was that Granger law compolled them to take such low raton for small dlstances and large ratos for largo distancos, It wag s well-known fact that it cost railroads more to-pick up bueincss at local pointa avd hanl it sliort distancos than to baul 1t o loug distance from onn point to another. o sab- mitted a statomont showing tho unjust diacrimi- Bationa mado by the Railroad Commirsionors in this respact. ‘Tho Tallrond Commissioncra, Mr. Medfullin said, azomod to take rpocial plossuro in perse- cating tho Chicago & Atton Itairond, Thisrond had nivendy spout $50,000 for lnwsnits of this Lind, and would havo 3 spend considerablo more Loforn it got through. ‘The 1iinosa Central Railroad and tho Chteago & Alton Ratlroad were mota affected than nuy other Chicago linca by tho discriminating aguingt this cily.
