The Illinois State Journal has the following in reference to tho discrimination against Chicago, and in favor of Kansas City, in the matter of beef freights to the East: Tills discrimination in railroad freights has operated to the injury of many other places be side Chicago, and if it is a possible tiling, should be stopped. If we mistake not, in times past, on some routes, the discrimination has been made in favor of Chicago, and, although tho facts were set forth, yet there was no redress. It is possible that there are other causes operating beside dis crimination in freights to increase the beef-pack ing business at Kansas City. It is well known that Kansas City is one of the important points on tho great thoroughfare over which the immense num ber of cattle from Texas and tho West pass to reach a market. Such being the fact, cattle can be packed cheaper in Kansas City than In any place cast of it, St. Louis not excepted; for what difference there may bo in tho transportation of salt and barrels for packing purposes, might pos sibly be in tbe transportation of the of the stock, to market. It is quite pr.ob c'. tjg that much of tho meat packed in Kansas, may liud a Western market, a portion of it going to supply the United States forces stationed at the various forts in the West, and under sueii circum stances Kansas City would have tho advantage of many other places “That Chicago la suffering from this unjust railroad discrimination in freights, we do not doubt, and we hope that the committee who havo been appointed to secure justice to Chicago may at the same time endeavor to do something for other sections of Illinois that are laboring under the same disadvantages.” The Kansas City papers are jubilant over the fact, first complained of in our columns, and, worse than all. iuyjte St. Louis to join iu felici tating the community generally over each an un fair condition of things. In the same breath they state confidently that the position of Kansas would secure to her the packing trade of tho futhre, CT en without such discrimination. If this be so, then Chicago will not complain of being placed on even terms with her in the matter of freights. If Kansas City were laboring under a natural disadvantage, there might be some show of reason for giving her a lift, bat if she has the advantage, in any event there is no excuse for continuing the present order of things. Tho fleetest horse seems to bo handicapned with tho lightest weight in the race. It is true that Chicago men have no right to complain of the Baltimore Ohio Railroad offi cers for carrying freight as cheaply as they please. This business is with the roads that run item this city, which can at least bo shamed into dealing equally with all their customers, even if they cannot be made to see that it is for their interest to carry as cheaply as competing roads. The DemoatUeulan policy—“ action”—is the true one for shippers to adopt, and they will never get their rights till they insist upon them in such a determined way as will show that they will accept nothing else.
