The railrond also afforded the Standard oil monopoly exclusive privi leges, such as side-tracks and other facili- but recovered only £5,000. Of this amount §1,000 was exemplary damages to punish the railroad for discriminating In rates, and §4,000 was for actual dam- stock by means of increased rentals for the use of telephones, the present rent of which altogether to high, The time has come not only to wring the water out of the already watered stocks, is but to prevent any more watering in the fature.
