To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The value of the agricultural products of this country, nearly all of them, is regulated by the Liverpool and New York markets, and every discrimination by railroad com- panies and other common carriers in favor of frieghts toward those markets, is a benefit to the producer ; and while this law would be of no appreciable benefit to the the " short stop " freighter, it would take more or less from the price of every bushel of wheat, arid every pound of Ijeef and pork in the markets of Chicago, M...ilwaukee, St. Louis, and all the other principal markets of the West. In fact, the whole scope of the bill seems to be rather in the interest of the complaining few, the small shippers for short distances, to the prejudice of large shippers for long distances, whose interests are those of the great mass of pro- ducers in the country ; upon the same principle as would be the requiring the wholesale merchant to sell at retail at the same price that he does at wholesale. Thus, that pro- vision of the bill prohibiting rebates, or drawbacks, and re- quiring railroad companies to transport a single car load from one shipper at the same rate that they charge for a hundred car loads for a single shipper, is clearly unjust.
