It is equally clear that the hole purpose of' the statute was to fix tipwarrt liinit. to railroad charges d not to fix a scale by which they ight ;e co)nptuted with releir ce to a unit colllilon to till ctasses ot 1ods. This would leave the compa free to lttrsue that course that >uld be dictated by business necessi or prudence within the limits fixed law. such being the c:ase, we mnust nelude that the Act, des not atl'rd y m'eanls oftt'e ermllilg ile force of c expressions heavj and articles Of euasure)ent. and that the"e teriiis Lst be defined by proof of the cus in im practice prevailing at the ttie the passage of the Act.
