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 ?

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.
