SENSIBLE WESTERN ROADS. The Western railroad managers are not by: any means us grasping as their Eastern breth- rob, but then they are not Vanderbilts, Scotte, Goulds, aud Gorrette. While the flutter have been gradually advancing the freights to the Eastern seaboard, untit grain is quoted at 30 cents and fourth class ot 5 cents from Chicagu to New York, because here was sin unusually fi Pp, and the formers are compelled to stip a portion of thelr produce at this time, the Ines leading bere from the Northwest have agreed unon a reduellon of fivo conts pet hundred, This arrangement fa doubly gratifying to the farmers and peovle in that section of the country, hecause it was be- Heved that they would follow the example of the New York magnates and also inake an, ad- ganee. It will relieve these great grain-pro- Queing communities from a portion of the arbl- trary and oppressive tax {mposed upon them by the ‘avarieo of the great Eustern corporations.
