It's the rebate lumber rate from our mills at Twin Buttes and elsewhere, and it was given us two years ago, a few days before election." "And the consideration?" she asked, looking up quickly. "You know that, too, Mrs. Blount. It was the swinging of the solid employees' vote of the Twin Buttes Lumber Company over to the railroad ticket." "And you wish to make the same arrangement again?"
You see, we Western people grow the wheat that goes down the lakes, and when the Conference got to know an Independent boat was coming out they went round and offered Montreal shippers and brokers a drawback on the rates. That is, if the shippers gave them all their stuff, they'd meet their bills for a rebate some time afterwards.
The railroad discriminated against me; it gave the Trust a rebate on all oil shipped over the road and made me pay the full schedule rates. Even against this detrimental condition I was able to sell my oil at a small profit. "I might have survived the unequal struggle had not the 'pipe line' system been introduced.
To penetrate into the innermost portion of the cave, one has to descend by steps cut in the stone, and these steps bear indications of long usage.

But, as a through rate had been provided, the owners of the pipe-line agreed to remit a part of its charges to the railroad, so we had cases where the Standard paid a rebate to the railroad instead of the reverse but I do not remember having heard any complaint of this coming from the students of these complicated subjects.
"'Sure, Sam, said I. 'Did you suppose I was going to let you bluff me this way? And that was the last time he ever tried to work the rebate racket on me." "So long as a bluffer is warm about it," said the shoe man, "it's all right; but I do hate to go up against one of those cold bloods, even if he isn't a bluffer." "That depends," said the clothing man.
The rebates are to be cut only to have all the framing inside look alike; and as the panel, B, is made to fit quite close into the rebate, it will not be surmised that it is not fitted in the usual way. After the box is made and fitted together, the clamping must be done.
