IVe last week stated that it was probably
hell knoWn to all the on ners of hemlock
back along the line of the railroad that the
Company had. entered into
‘ an, agreeinerit
that hey would not transport hemlock hark,
or that they would, by, the impwition of a
high rate of 'freight, practiCallyprohibit the
shipment of such bark or its extract over
'their road. We also stated that
was adopted by the advice OrlEfehrj- Sher
wood
. "
It is needlestb say that . theSe'charges are
denied by the parties interested, and we pro
pose to give them the full benefit of . those
denials In the first •pla6e, the 'At tiers - of
our large tanneries deny that they have en
tered into any such agreement with tke
Company. We are informed that the Pres
ident of the Railroad Company says it is" a
malicious lie;" 'but we don't understand
whether this Greeleyish phrase is intended
to cover the whole or only part of the charge.
Mr. Sherwood and his friends also say it is
" a lie," and they probably mean to cover
the whole article - by that favorite express-
lon. r •
Webster defines Li l lie to be " a criminal
falsehood; a falsehood uttered for the pur
pose of deception; an intentional violation
of truth." It must be admitted, in view of
this dehnition, that the paper or the person
guilty of telling lies; even jf they are not
•• malicious" ones, deserves 6 lo be excluded
from all decent society.' We are willing to
stand or fall by that 'test now and at all
times. Let us see, then, whether the AOt-
TATon did lie when it made those charges.
We did believe, on the testimony of men
entitled to full credit, that the rßailroad
-t - •
CoMpany ha ch adopted a rule - 4* policy pm
ticallv prohibiting the transportation of
bark. Before that article was printed, we
'heard of several men ,who had been prevent
-ed from shipping bark by titat rtile, one of
fitern being a very large buyer!' :Since l it
was published, we 114 e heard, a Other's. in.
