To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Q. You never confine yourself to schedule rates ?
A. Vie know nothing about them ; I never saw a schedule rate ; I know nothing about that.
Q. How long have you been in business ?
A. Twenty years, more or less.
Q. And during those twenty years you have never known anything of schedule rates ?
A. I have been in this country since 1S66, and have never known anything of schedule rates, and never saw a schedule rate.

English observers have seen the marvellous cheapness of American railways, they have failed to notice the price at which this benefit has been obtained. The Americans themselves know better. One could fill pages with extracts from American utterances to the effect that what they want is not cheapness but reasonable rates, combined with equality, publicity, and permanence. A few quotations, however, it is worth while to give. Mr. Cole, a former President of the New York Produce Exchange, used these words before the Hepburn Committee : " I am not speaking in any way antagonistic to a railroad or to a rail- road interest, I think their interests are identical, I only hope to see a fixed rate brought about.
