Mr. Blanchard offered the following resolu- tlon, which was unanimously adopted: Kesolved, That East-bound thraugh rates be ad- vanced on Mouday, March 11, to the basis of 30 cents_per 100 pounds, fourth class, Chicago to Now York. It will bo seen from tho above that it will be no casy matter to carry out the plan proposed Dy the” Commissloners, and theso gentlemen will soon find that the provisions of tho agrec- ment cannot he carrled out, To make tho ar- rongement effective tho Commisslonors need the cnergotic support of all the rallroad- wanagers in tho country, and this thoy will be unable to sccure. On _the cot- trary, some of tha managers will throw all possible obstacles In thoir way. Therc is hardly a rond fn tho list that will bo satisfled with the portlon allotted to It by the Commis- sloners, and the indlcations are that arbitrators wiil bave to be appolnted in every instauce, and oven then it 1s doubtful whethor tho ronds would submit, But supuosc the Commissioncra succced in npportioning tho busincss sat- fsfactorlly amoug the verious roods lead- ing FEast from the varlous West- cra polnts, yet o pool of this kind will ¢all forth the bitter enmity of tho shippers, becanse it pinces them completely ot the merey of the two Comumissloners, who cau dictate to which road tho business s to bo given, The shippers do not oppose of this arrangement, because under it the rates bave been ratsed.” No onc can find fault with tho ratea catablished at tho New York mecting, for they are falr and cauitable. Falr and steady ~ rates aro proferabls to low and fluctuating ones. Supposc o number of shippers Joln together and mako all tho Northwestern shipments via Milwaukeo fnstead of via Chicago, In what way could Chivago check this diversion of businessf Undor the agree- ment Chleago roads are not allowed to give ex- tra inducements to hrln¥ tho busincss this wn{. and they have to sit still and ses 1t polng via other points, unti finally Chlcago has dwindled down to ancre way-station. Then thero is o orovision 1n the agreement that If a road falls behind Iu its division the Cominlssioner may al- loy that road to make a reduction in tho rate until i bos caught up ogatn. This would give an advantago to certaln shinpers, which s aoy. thiug but fulr and equitablo, It ia evident that tho arrangemont lms been made merely for oifoct, and uost of tho rail- rond managers themaclves do not hesitato to stigmatize it aa a fraud and deluslon, The in- sincerily of tho g‘etwrl-up of tha pool can best be secn by the fact that the agreement pro- vides that the live-stock busivess sball bo ex- cluded from Its oporations. ‘fhbis is as much as to suy that this bustness shall romaln controlled by the ** Evencra’ Ring," one of thoe most abom- inable and corrupt rings cver cstablished. Bo obnoxfous has it already bLecomno that, ns a flnal resort, the outrazed “public has petitioncd Congresa Lo step In and provide relfef, hown in a three-column dispatch from Washington in yosterday’s TmiBunm. It is & well-ostab- Nshied fact that the thres live-stock cvenera receive aunually, for doing little or no servico, from onc to two milllons of dollars, all of which comes out of the pockets of tho people and thoso llnlu‘::n who are not cveners. No one upposcs that the three lve-stock eveners oro allowed to_divide this fmmense suwn amonyg themaclvesy It 1a moro thau likely that the bulk of it fluda 1ts way into the capacious pockets of gome of the rallroad managers, Rumor polnta directly to three or four managers whoget a cer- tain stipulated amount of thess protits, It Is for this renson aud nous other that tle llve- stock business was not included in the new pool, Under tho new arrangement tho Commissioners ara ‘*evencrs,’’ to even all the business among the vurious roads, and yet tho live stock s lert to bo evened by three shippers who have no con- uection with the xoad, aud who charge for this service from one to two milllons per sunum, whils the Commissioncres could do it equally well if not better without charging a cent pe- sidce their regular salory, As long as the ratl. rosuls can alford thus to squander millions, thelr argument that tho new pool had to be formed in order to save thom from ytier ruin will bave bug little weight with the public, 24,000, the ofllces which covers that I hold, Tho President explained the reduction of the The Empire had amount of bLusiness, cost them the vast now Scott next defended the Adams Express con. o was noxe called upon to explaln the trust Pro anil con, Gon, Todd opened upon it. o Tation I not that honcst men cannot be found, but that it 18 imposslble to organize that teust, aud, i 1t wore oruunized, 1t would e utterly imposaiblo to operate it, ‘Phere is to.dny & dedicitin this fond of $,000,000 to moct I1a Indcbtedness, If this be true, it {9 Linpossible to sct aslde $1,000,000 anndally for the benoft of a ' sinking fund, Tney havs nmob got it How fong will it tiko to nbsotb this debit?
