As tothe general atestion of hooting, the rail- roads resorted to it in self-protection, just as the lawyers sat down on shysters, and tho ductors on 1 quack who went around CURING SORE THINGS AT MALY PICK. Chatfieid suggested that In doing this the big railroads nnd the little ones sat down on the people eolluctivelt: Rogk well inquired if any railroad had evor failed becunse of the cheapness of Its rates, Mann replled that he Knew of, plenty of roads which lad failed because thay comtil not carry as chenply as others which made low rates just to freeze them out. ‘The Wa- Hash, for thstanee,, broke in 1873 by reason of its cut-thront rates, and a Jew clotiler in Danville had rained himself—or his eredit- ors rather—by selling elothes so cheap that everybody could Wear them, Now those from the commen polut, As MeWilllams | oeditors wero . explained, he thought stien tnetics amounted.
