The detalls of this organization and work arc tho sccrets which were 8o closely guarded and kept from the press.

A member of the firm of I, B, Clafiin & Co. sald yesterday: *All theso frglght lincs have been taking freight from Boston, Philadelphia, and Baltimoro to the West at rates much below those from New York, In many fnstances we hava shipped goods for Western customers to Boston, to be returned thence to Albany, and from there shippeid to the West, thusaffectinga saving to our customers of G0 per cont on, the schedule rate demanded from New York. From Toston they were shipped by the Merchants' Dispatch Company, which, as everybody knows, runs over the New York Central Rallroad and its connectlons, and s, in effect, the New York Central. Everybody {n the wholesale dry goods, groceries, and other busincss, shipplng freight largely, feels keenly the effects of this unjust discrimination, and through them cyery- body Interested in tho wellare of New York s concerned In this mattor. It is unrensonable to charge morao on frolght from this point than from other scaboard clties to the West, ss the distance s about tho same from efther, 1f the charters of these roads arc as we snppose them, 1t must be that tho Leglalature has some power to influcnce tho making of just rates on freight from New York to Western points. It certainly is not to tho interest of New York to feglsiato Its business right out of thecity. Western customers are tho en who have to pay the freights, as wa merely dellverto trunk hines for transportation to them at thelr cost, and, of course, If they can get thelr goods in Boston or Philadelphia ot 25 to 50 per cent less expense of frelght than if they bought them 1n this city, New York need not expect much of thelr trade. Dosdes, goods are sold so close now that it would be impossible for New Yurk merchants to mako any sacrifices that would equalize the matter.*” ‘The resident head of one of the largest dry goods commlission houscs in the city says: “For two or thrce weeks past these .trunk Mnes have flrmly maintalned tholr schedulo rates from New York, while cutting from Bos- ton and other seaboard citics. A great deal of frelght has been shipped from Boston to Chica- Ro by theae trunk lines at 40 cents, and excep- tionally at 35 cente per cwt. And n great part of the goods so shipped went over to Boston, wero billed from there back, and swent by the Erlo Ranwn{ to the West from New York, while tho schedulo rate was maintained lere. In some instances lots as largo as 100 cases that originally eanio from Boston to New York wero shipped ‘back to Boston, and then to New York, nnd then West over the road be- causo the schedule rates were cut from Hoston, but matntalned here. Agatn, they have -nlused largs quautitics of goods from North Adams, Mass., where thiere ara no ooling ratcs, snas to cut beneath the schedule. he rato to North Adama has been 18 cents per cwt., ond 45 cents from thero to Chicogo, roak- lnglklccnts in all, while by dlrect ahlpment from New York tho rate wasstrictly matntained ot 81. It was understood that after Feo, 1 the truuk liues were to adhero to thelr schedule rates for all the scaboard citfes alike, but on the 20 inat. lhur werg shipping goudn marked “eontract! iromn Boston to Chicago by the Star Uulon line at 40 ccnts, and hg the Erlo and tho North Shoro at 35 cents, to St Louts at 5 cents, to Clncinnat! at 80 cents, to Loulsvillo at 43 cents, and to Keokuk at 67 cents, The rate from New York was aud is, to Chlcago, 815 to 8t. Louls, $1.15; and the other places in pro- portion. A Chleago i, to my knowled f‘l' shipped goods vesterdny from Phlladel- r.hh\ to Chicago for 70 conts tue Line,—which mcans tho or ewt, by the ew York Cen- tral Rond,~—and 1 further personally know of gooda held s strletly lirst-class here, and so shipped from this point, that were at another neabourd city rated a8 third-clase, and so ship- ed, as another neat iuvention for cutting be- ow schedule rates to the disadvantage of New York. ‘The differcnce in classification made o difference In rato from 81 down to 6065 conts. In that matier of classtfication, by tho way, an cnormous Injustico fa done. In 18 dry goods were rated 08 third-class, ‘Ilion prints wero warth 8150 and $200 per case, aud shectings 850 to 875 per bale, But when, during the War, thelr valtto Increased so that thoy were worth from $600 to 81,000, the rallroads took the ground that, a8 thoy were lablo such great amounts for damages In carrlnge, the! should bhe rated lirateclass thelr frelght Increased, which tho merchauts assonted. Now, those izoods bave gono back to a polnt lower than be- fore the War, yeL tllef' are still maintalned as first-class on the rallroad schedules, 8o that, at present schedulo rates, on a caso of prints or common browsn wusling, classified us first-class, a4 thoy are on the schedulo, tho frelght smounta to 8 to 43¢ per cout of the actual value of the goods, an aimost prohibitory tariil, » Another nstance In fltustratipn of tha effoct of this Injurtous discrimination @ecura to mo in the matter of shipplng zonds to Buffalu. The rate from New York to Builalo uscd 1o bo 83 o 45 cents per ewt., and at tufies us low as 1 cents, but the achedule put ft up to 60 cents, Wo ahipped ten days ogo a larze amount of roods to one of our largest jobliers in tnat city by steamer to Portlomd, Me., and then around by way of Canada to Buffato, Hy that raundabout way the frelght was 45 conts, and that is ahout what the Boston shipper can send there for dircet, We cannot shin” direet from hero for less thin 0d cents, and the way 1 have spoken of {8 objoctionable by reason of its greater length, tl uluu&er time consumed, and the conseauent risk. Of course, Boston lias us on the hip thero. e can ship goods from hero to Boston by the Norwich or Stonlngton lines for ahour 10 cents per ewt, and theneo to Chicago for 35 or 40 centa, or say, ut the outside, 55° or 60 cents ultdgethier, as ngalnst 81 from here, so that the purchaser, except In the matter of delay, 1a not eatly o suiferer by the existing state o'nfllh‘l. ut sce the positlon In which It plsces us. We must bear the expense of delivering the goods to a trunk lue for him; 8o we bave to pay cart- sge here, transportation to Boston, und cartage there to the line thut is 1o carry them to the West, If this unjust and ruinous discrimina- tlon were not made, we should siinply have to puy cartago hore to whichever trunk line of thoss centreing hero tho customer might clece, 411 this goes un the lurge commission houscs will have to move to Bustun or to Philaaelpl and sbip thelr goods from there, merely mm talplog oftices to take orders In New York. T'hat 13 practically what we are doing now. We liave been, every day this week, wolegruphing to Hoston to do that” very thing; taking ornders here and shipplng the goods from there. Mean- while the nine curts we ordlnarily have em- ployed bere atand tdle, sCEither direetly or fudlrectly this hits the personul luterest not only uf the merchants of New York, but of the real-vstato owuers, the rutall storckeepers, the Iaboring class, every- budy, in short, Aud what cxeuse do the rall- way peaplo offerl Mr. Depew, who represcuts ed the New York Ceotral Road, the other day, ot the Chamber of Commerc mecting, sald that oniy one-tenth ot tho Wostern-bouud freight went from Bostou and New Englaud gencrally, aud nise-tenths from New York. 1 oraer to weet the cutting ou the Grand ‘Frunk lue, thuy had cut down thelr rates to o ‘m":'f poiut ou that ouc-teuth, oy y could otfurd to doj but they could not affora to cut the niuc-teoths, consequently New York wmust suffer; but they " hoped it would be only temporary., ‘That was all the oxplasation he gave,—a mers udmission of the fact. -Jt seems to us that the cbarters given these ruads by the Btato should not be uscd as cugines for the oppression of the commerce ot Now York, aud we iuteud to ascertalu whether tho Legistature canuot atlord some redress.” - Mr. H. K. Thurber sald that e kncw the shippers of freight to the West hud suffercd greatly by theso lujurious wpplications of schedulo rates, All that can be said o fayor of the existing systow Is that it {s & good thing for to Bostou, witbout which Boston caunut prubably | eappoluted. L wo could bave threo weeks' amount to much, fl!rllllnl{ not in her grocery trade at Teaat. He s eatisficd that an advan- tage ns small as 1 per cent in (roights must naturally throtr the weight of trade In fayor of the city that haa it, and the fact of frelghts he- tween New York and Chicago smounting to 8 o 41¢ per cent on the value of goods he regard- ¢d s simply mopstrous.
