If the object in these unjust discrimi nations is primarily to minister to the vanity of corporations which resort to this mode of swel ling the amoant of gross receipts atourexpeuar, the Injustice seems only the more inexcusable and mischievous. If, on tho other Land, the Cin cinnati rotes are remunerative to the companion, tho people of Pittsburgh arc made the victims of n most unjustifiable Tho indirect effects of the wrong are also injurious to oar business and prosperity. If a western merchant were to consign goods from New York lo ft steam boat at Pittsburgh for transportation to Cincin nati, in order to place him on tho same footing as if he had shipped the goods through by rail, the steamboat would be obliged to carry them for nothing, pay the drayage in Pittsburgh, and 5 cts. per hundred pounds additional for the pri v lege of doing so. A similar operation takes place in shipping eastward. The. Pena. Rail Road becomes the protector of the western roads against steamboat competition, noVtno anyone except its authorized agents ship by steamboat, save at a loss. It Is fast becoming on essential requisite, to tho success of a steamer ca-Uje upper Ohio that some agent, or official of the' Rail Road Co., shall be part owner. The steam boat interests may make many interesting de ductions from the tables and facts furnished. •u? 3 .WJt. JOUfQtO!*.

Cost of bbl. of Hour in Philadelphia $6 65 bifleronoo In favor of western miller, caused by liscrlmlnftllon in railroad charges 07« n favor nf Philadelphia miller Sic The calculation, it may be cot-iced, leaves out of view tbo freight on wheat from Pittsburgh to Iho mill In Westmoreland Co., and the latter is merely named as tho representative of a section of country outside of Pittsburgh. Until lately, a discrimination of n large part of this sum oxisted against tho millers in Pills, burgb. It had the effect of destroying the business in this city, and as a consequence, cut off from the Railroad a source of revonuo amounting to more than one hundred thousand dollars per onnum. Tho Railroad Company ought to have gained from this little experience a knowlege of tho effect they were producing on tbeir own interests, ob well os onrs, through other brooches of business, but they seem only to havo opplled It to the one. Some of our cullers have now. a special con tract with the P. R- R- Co. which placed them on a saffloiontly favorable footing toindacethem to resume business. The terms of their agree ment they decline to make public, for Iho mani fest reason that it onjy exists at the will of the R. R. Co. Their foKanes being in the bands of the Company they dare not risk the chances of an offence whioh may cause their ruin. This fear of tho R. R- Co. exists more or less among all classes of our business men. They hesitate to oommanlcate their knowledge of special con tracts, or particular instances of wrong, lest they may thereby bo subjected to a withdrawal of favor, or the imposition of new burdens injq. rious to tbeir own individual business. This feeling has deprived your Committee of much valuable information on tbo points referrod to us, and discloses a mode of operating on the part of the Roil Road Co. whioh, to say the least of it, is unbasioess like, and must bo injurious to the Interests of the stockholders, as well as to the business of Pittsburgh and Western Penn sylvania. But to return to the flour. We have from other sources, than the millers, the information that if the latter can show that the wheat, of which flour is made, was bought at a point west of -Pennsylvania, the flour will be carried from Pittsburgh at the eome pro rata rates as it would have paid if shipped at the point where the wheat was bought. Tbe miller is required to produce the western bills ot lading to prove the .w. a. batcha*. point at which the purchase was made. This presents a new kiml of discrimination, which wo state as follows: Freight on a bbL of Flour to Philadel phia—if tbo Wheat is purchased in Cincinnati Do if wheat is boug! •• in Pittsburgh—. Hence the miller can afford to pay 7} cents more per bushel for wbent raised in Hamilton county, Ohio, (ban for that raised in Allegheny, Armstrong, Westmoreland, Washington and other coanties in Pennsylvania. That being the amoant of discrimination the Railroad makes in favor of the farmer whose Railway station is in Cincinnati and a -i u«t the farmer whose station is Pittsburgh, l’a. The miller in Westmoreland ibough 50 miles nearer the flour market, mtji pay the fanner 74 cts per bushel less than Cincinnati wheat costs in Pittsburgh, or he cannot compete- The discrimination is equally against the farmer of Lancaster or any other connty in tho State, the markets of which are on the line of tho Railroad. In enabling the miller to pay a larger price for his wheat at every place west of Pennsylva nia, thamhe can pay in Pittsburgh, tho company also to that extent discourages tho shipment of grain to this city for sale. The singular anomaly exists (hat Hour may bo shipped from this oity to Philadelphia the same day—each shipper getting the best terms allowed to his class, or his individual contract, at the following several rates, viz., 5-1 cts., 70 cts., 75 cts., 80 els., 80 cts. and !»0 cts. Similar discrepancies in the chnrges both eastward and westward exist in other articles. Some consumers, or sellers of oil, for instance, pay C 5 cts. per 100 lbs., while at least one we know, who ( probably for reasons before alluded to) deolines to give any information on the subject, pays not over 40 or 45 cts. per 100 lbs. < Comment on such atyttem of business seems un necessary. We have before us a bill of lading of flour from Nashville to Philadelphia, shipped through “the only persons authority to offer through rates.” The river freight is 35 cts., mil freight 8D cts.—total $1 15. The ownerof this flour is a Pittsburgh merchant. If, wishing to handle it himself at Pittsburgh, he had ordered it to be shipped to his own care, the cost would have been: River freight, same. Pitteb’g lo Phila.... Drayage in PUtab’g. allowing no commission. The railroad by this discriminates against doing a commission and forwarding business in Pittsburgh 14 cts. per barrel; in other words they offer 14 cts. per barrel to every commission and forwarding merchant (except the one bouse.) as a bonus to leave us and go to some western city. To tho latter, the company pays a commission t > effect the desired object. A wholesale grocer in this city was charged by the R. R. Co. thesame freight on a large lot of sugar os was paid by a Cinncinnati house at tho same lirao. lie succeeded in getting a reclama tion by which he paid two-thirds os much as the Cincinnati house though his goods were carried only half the distance. A merchant in a town on the Mississippi river was charged the same price for freight on bales of brown muslins, bought in this city, as he paid on the same goods from N. York via Pittsburgh. The full extent of discrimination against us by private contracts, we have no means of as certaining, but occasional accidental develop ments, such as these, render it probable that it Is very extensive. Tho farmer whose railroad station is Greens burgh. Pa., pays 41c. per 1001 b., or 24 00-100 c. per bus., for carrying his wheat 320 miles. The farmer whose station la Cincinnati, Ohio, pays 58c per 1001 b., or 34 8-100 per bus., to carry his wheat 734 miles. The merchant at Johnstown or Bl&irsville pays the same freight on bis goods as if he re sided in Pittsburgh. A manufacturer of axes in Lewistown pays tho same freight to Pittsburgh from that place (173 miles West of Philadelphia.) as his competitors in the latter city. A maker of on article of hardware in Shrews bury, York Co., shipped goods to Pittsburgh, by way of Harrisbargh and the Penna. R. R , at 77c. per 3 001 b.; at the same time, by way of Baltimore, Harrißburgh and Penna. K. K , 45c. We might multiply these illustrations to an in definite extent, were it necessary, but hare said enough to answer the inquiry of your resolu tion, “Do our railroads discriminate against the citizens of Pennsylvania?” These discrimina tions operate injuriously, not only on the city of Pittsburgh, but also against every station along tho lino of the Penna. R. R ; every merchant of Pennsylvania whose goods move in its cars; every farmer or manufacturer, the product of industry is borne upon it to an Eastern or Western- market. In reference to discrimination in passenger faros, your committee have not inquired. We may state, however, that snch discriminations in favor of citizens of other States are well to exist. The present fare between Pittsburgh and Phil adelphia, is $lO 00, which Is 2 83-100 cents per passenger per mile. It is presumed the way fare is higher. On the New York and Erie Road, in 1855, the averago receipts from through ond way pnssen gors were 2.U2 per mile. In 186 G, the way rate was 2.45, the through rate 2.70 cents, per pas senger per mile. In an ordinance granting certain privileges to tbe Penn. K. It. Co., which, by their accept ance, became a contract with the City of Pitts burgh, the former were prohibited from acting as commission and forwarding merchants. The mode in which that agreement is evaded, by tbe appointment of an agent to do what was for] bidden to the principal, requires some notice. The commission and forwarding business has been so utterly annihilated in this city, as to make the discriminations against it, before no ticed, seem quite unnecessary. The arrangement with Messrs. Clarke & Co. is notoriously iqjuri ous to tbe busidess of Pittsburgh, It is also a great wrong perpetrated on the stockholders of the Penna. Railroad Company, against which the Commissioners of Allegheny County, or their representative Directors, should most strenuous ly protest. Messrs. Clarke & Co. are active and efficient agents, and equal to any business house in the country, but if the same terms which they receive were offered to alt, the Penna. Road would set to work hundreds of merchants. In this and other cities, who would bend all their efforts to attract trade to the line. It is no dis paragement to Messrs. Clark k Co., to assume that a large number of these are as active, cor rect and efficient business men as tbe houso now solely employed. That they would, by their united influence, soon overburden Lhe Penna. Hoad with tonnage, we havo no doubt. Why an arrangement so manifestly adverse to the inter ests of all concerned, except those who directly share in the profits of Clnrke k Co., and Leech k Co., is persisted in, is as unaccountable as some of tho other matters alluded to in this report.* If tbe present policy of the Pennsylvania Road is Indicative of tho future, Pittsburgh has little ground for pleasing anticipations. On the completion of the Steubenville rood, ef which we understand it is in effect, if not actually, the lessee, we may find it delivering and receiv ing goods at points on the river below us, at the same charge as to or from this city. A large portion of the stoamboat tonnage, with tho busi ness incidental to it, and the revenues of the wharf, may bo out off. The stipulation that the break of guago must occur In this city, will be a small obstacle iu the way of transferring the terminus of the road to a point forty miles fur ther West—whenover the Steubenville road be comes a part of the great monopoly. Tho break between Pittsburgh and Allegheny did not pre vent tho terminns from being in effect, so far as New York trade iB concerned, transferred to Cincinnati. Your Committeo arc aware of tho difficulty of satisfying all the varied interests which have business relations with this vast corporation. But when It is considered that our city and county have invested millions of dollars in the construction of tbe Railroads centering here that the streets of Pittsburgh and Allegheny have been given up, and ordinance afterordi nance have beon passed for their benefit or protec tion—that no community in the land has been so liberal and yielding to their requirements, wo might expect to derive special advantages, instead of having so long a list, of grievances. The people looked forward to the construc tion of Rail Roods which wero expected to make our oity their terminus and thus constitute it a centre and point at whioh the agricultural trea sures of the west were to be gathored for; sale and distribution to tbo great eastern mnrts. Instead they find that it has become, notwith standing their efforts and expenditures, a mere way-struion on a thoroughfare deprived even of its once valuable advantagoof being the “head of navigation,” and a necessary point for tran shipment—placed on a par with the villages around it in all, savo the magnitude of its debt, and tho intensity of Us disappointment.

MIT tot thoeiprei, pßrpoM of then that, smarting under their grievances, some of the people should be led by the harangues of demagogues to the disgraceful attempt to repu diate obligations once recognized and approved. \ our Committee proceed to consider briefly the other question referred to them, viz: la the Tojtnace Tax rnr- Cause of tue Dis- ,5G cLS per Lbl .„90 cnisiiif atjo!TB %Tbat the tonnage tax is the cause of the discriminations against the local trade, and is paid by that trade only, we find stated by the officials of the Penna. Kailroad Company. We find it, however, just as distinctly stated by the same officials, that their rates are regulated only by the exigencies of competition. The lows of the Slate of Pennsylvania reqoire that the tax be levied on “all tonnage, of whatever description, except the ordinary baggage of pas sengers.” If the first of these positions is true, then, as we-havc shown already in (ho first part of (his report, it is a manifest abuse of power by the Railroad Co., which calls loudly for legis lative interference. If the contradictory proposition is true, then our examinations lead us to tho conclusion that the exigencies of trade, do not make discrimin ation against us essential to the prosperity of the road: and it is an exercise of tyranny on the part of the Company, which equally demands legislative interference. It ia beyond dispute that the Pennsylvania Railroad is the most fa vorably located and (equaling grades for distan ces on the Baltimore and Ohio road,) by far the shortest rente from the interior commercial centres to the seaboard, of any yet constructed. We believe it can havo no successful competitor, until the completion of ono or more of the rival lines which are projected through our own State. In poinL of cheapness of first cost, and ex pense of transportation on it per mile, it is more economical than any other route. It can carry goods at a much less price, and at the same time make more money than any rival road. Costing bat about one half the sum of the New Tork end Erie, or t'cntral roads, theso latter must mako double as mnch money per mile to declare the same dividend. * In the year 1855, after paying 0 per cent, interest on the stock and all other expenses, besides $447,371 60 paid on the indebtedness of the company, the surplna profit of the Penna. R. R. was $774,014 28. In 1850, after paying 8 per cent, dividend and nil interest and tonnage tax, a surplus net profit of $050,16666 was credited to the con struction and contingent fnhds. In 1857, notwithstanding‘all the depressions of the latter part of that year the profit, after paying all taxes, interest, and interest on the purchase of the Main Line, is stated af $1,100,- 15005. i These sums over and above a reasonable pro fit may account for the discriminations, while . ■ at tho same time they show that the Penna. R. .. R. can easily pay the slate tax, reduce to a fair ! standard its local charges, and at the same ; time continue to reap liberal profits from the i privileges granted in its charter. When the Company have brought down the j sum of their net earnings, to a more meagre • percentage on the investment and reduced their : charges to the citizens of the State toon ; amount barely compensating, and from love of : (he Commonwealth are anxious to make a still further reduction, perhaps the tonnage tax might then interfere with their benevolont in ■ tentions, but not till then. That the tonnage tax is not the cause of the discriminations ! against the citizens of Pennsylvania is as evi dent as is the fact, that for the purposes of the ’ Company, it is made the pretext for the wrong. ■ Nor do we believe its removal would permanent ly reduce the local charges, or induce tho Com pany to'change oar relative position to parties . outside of the State and at the Philadelphia end l of the roadf. Nothing short of the completion of I the Connellsville ot Allegheny Volley -Roads, or the direct interference of the Legislature, icill effect - this result, and the latter remedy alone will effect i it for parts of the State cost of Allegheny co.J A release of tho tonnage tax woaldin the end produce contrary resnhs from those essential to ; justice and right. All legislation, the tendency of which renders this enormous power in the State more independent of the people, increases the certainty that its power will be used ad , Tersely to the interests of the people and re I gardless of legislative interference or conlroL Tour committee believe that the motives and objects of the Legislature in extending special privileges to Railroad Companies ore precisely the same as in chartering Turnpikes, Plank Roads, or the construction of Canals, and may be suited as follows : Ist. To promote the interests of the entire Commonwealth by increasing the general wealth, or ia otherways (as in the three mill tax) adding to the revenues and prosperity of tho State, and affording economical and expeditions modes of transportation and travel for the use of its own citizens. 2d. To promote the interests of particular calitics through which tho lines of common!-- eat ion may pa**, or at which they may terminate. : ’d. To afford such facilities and protection to stockholders as will enable them to reap what ever profit their undertaking is susceptible of, without detriment to the main objects of the legislation. In chartering the Pcnna. R. R. Co. these ob jects were clearly in tho minds of the legisla- UITS-iathe order as we hare stated them, and no amount oT*so|rKtalry could hare induced the -.•same men to order, placing the last first. If the railroad s got managed to secure the first objects named, liTn Ii nill Ijiijjlm power to compel them to do jt •Mir, the • distin«"» ! -‘ mour, the present distinguished New York State engineer, speaking of the roads in that State sajs : —"lf any legislation were justifiable on this subject (the rates of charge) it would be to prohibit railroads from carrying freights at less than remunerating rates, and to compel them to transport local freights at the same proportionate rates as through freights.'' Your committee be- Kere that such legislation is not only highly proper, but demanded by the interests of the State of Pennsylvania. If a chartered company is found at any time to bo oppressing the citizen, evading a provision of the act of incorporation, interfering with the legitimate revenues of the Commonwealth, or doing anything prejudicial to the intercuts of the people, it is not only the right, but the absolute duty of the government to remedy the abuse. Such legislation as will meet the case in point is already a condition in the charter of at least one of our companies. j| In conclusion, your committee recommend that the Board of Trade petition the Legislature against tho repeal of the “three mill lax on ton nage." And also, that they will enact the fol lowing law, or nn equivalent which in (heir wis dom may be thought to meet the case, viz: Sec. *l.—All Railroad Companies in the State of Pennsylvania shall so regulate their tolls and charges for motive power and transportation, that tho said charges shall at no time be greater per passenger, or per ton, per mile, on passen gers or freight, destined fo or from any port or place in this Commonwealth, cither by railroad or canal, than may bo charged per passenger, or per ton, per mile, for tho some description of goods or mcrohAndise transported over an equal distance on said road, coming from, or destined to, any port, or place, in any other 8tot«. Sec. 11.—The rato of charge per ton, per mile, on Pig Iron, Blooms, Ore, Coal, Lumber, Hire Brick, and all oilier articles, the product of this Slate, not commonly carried to or from points in other States, shall at nq time bear a higher relative proportion of cborgo to other goods or; freight than they now bear, according to the tariff of the Penna. Railroad Co. All of which is respectfully submitted. V. B. Beubot, IsAIAG DICKXI, George B. Joses. ■The Now York and Erio Road eost $33,000,000, The Contra!
