Excerpt from Changes in the Rates of Charge for Railway and Other Transportation Services 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 informa tion 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.
