Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The report deals not only with the charges for the transportation of agricultural products to the principal markets and seaports, but also with those for furniture, agricultural implements, dry goods, boots and shoes, and other commodities used by the farmer, from New York to Chicago, St. Louis, and other important distributing points in the Western States and on the Pacific coast. The report includes, in addition, tables containing certain information in regard to passenger rates. While this is of much less interest to the farmer than are the rates charged for the transportation of the products of his fields and of the commodities which he has to purchase, it constitutes no unimportant part of the transportation problem, and no justification for its inclusion need be offered. The entire subject is treated historically, the tables in the case of some of the older railroads extending over a period of fifty years.
