REFORM IN RAILWAY TARIFF.

ro nih KDiioit. Sut, — When Sir J. Vogcl is in the Ninth it illicit be well if home action bo taken by inn luiMnht'is and local (iovcinincnt bodies to secuie some satisfactory km I way cliatges. 1 would suggest tint the \p\ations and unccttaiu freighting by elassos should be abolished, and that the (loveinment should lino and haul trucks .it, hay, lid per tiuck ])er milo, and for si \ ton tmcks, i>orhaps 'Id, consignors load'm? and consignees unloading, or tho depaitmunt would charge for nnd employ mon at tln*ii o\ponse. I think that for the hocond hftv miles theie should bo a rebate of 10 per cent., and for the third of twenty per cunt, and so on, *o as to induce settlement and improvement in tho moiu roinote district-, and as wliolo ■<alo UMii-* of tho railway, it is only business that those who uso tho railway for many miles should pay loss per mile than such as only use it for short distances. I'ctty goods might be chanred one shilling per c.vt. for tho first cwfc. or under ; for fifty miles, Is (id ; for 100 miles, Is fld ; for 150 miles and for 300, 2s per cwt. Parcels, per 251b5., to bo half thoxo raton. l^aboln and stamped addresses to bo sold by the department for freights on potty goods and parcels, nnd for delivery also, if wanted. This would save much book und account keeping to the (iovoimnont and annoyance to the public. — I am, fee, \Vm, AnciiD. Muuiu. Piako, January Oth, l«8,5,
