" Edward Atkinson, in an essay entitled "The Railway, the Farmer and thePublic, " endeavors to prove that the farmers have no cause forcomplaining against the railroad, because rates of transpo...rtation havebeen greatly reduced during the past twenty years. Speaking of thereductions made in freight rates in the State of New York, he says: "Hadthe rate of 1870 been charged on the tariff of 1883 the sum would havebeen at 1. 7016 cents on 9, 286, 216, 628 tons, carried one mile, $158, 014, 262; the actual charge was $83, 464, 919, making a difference of$74, 549, 343 saved on one year's traffic on the lines reported in NewYork.
