BAD REauLAroN.-They have in this city'a very bad
and very old fogyish sort of regulation restricting the
trade of hueksters and others In the Market which is
fraught with much evil. 1t that If man is a
huckstcr and rents STALL he prohibited from selling
at another place In the market and cannot buy articles

is this owns stall in the market, raises three or
hundred watermellon and brings them to town for
sale. II buys BIS watermellons In block from him,
giving him much down for the three hundred the clerk
Of the market prosecute A. conscats the produce
purchased and have him fined for purchasing it, Such
was the result In case of this nature brought before the
Mayor yesterday The excuse for this curious regua'
ton OF trade and traffic is that Spectators If not re-
strained by law would foresta the market This Is rath-
er singular doctrine advance in this age of free trade
Experience has shown that there be nothing more
foolish than the attempts legislatures to regulate trade
Like water trade Is bound to find s level, and VIII
break through all barriers matter how strongly they
may be built. Such legislation, 20 far from &C
.omplshng the object intended, that Is, to pro-
tect the poor against Spectators has the opposite
effect for 1t restricts trade there Is no longer any room
or competition and trade to be governed by those
great regulators supply and demand There can be no
such thing forestang market where the supply Is
greater than the demand and that ia the peoples oppo
tunity and whenever the demand ia greater than the
ply and spectators take advantage Of It, why that
their opportunity and they perhaps entitled to It,
that the evils and the benefits Of unrestricted trade bal
anse themselves The idea Of attempting to govern trade
by legislation has long since been abandoned. The last
attempt Of the kind that Of Thaddsus Stevens in Con
gres when he was laughed down for attempting to regu
late tho price Of gold The principle is the same whether
be gold watermelons All other cities have seen the
futty well the folly Of such laws, and now instead
tfNn
their wisdom in endeavorng to discover means to remove
all taxes prohibitions penalties in the vending Of ar
cles Of prime necessity particularly. Were our markets
perfectly free from all taxation from all dues, and all
penalties the people would benefit by 1t to that extent
Competition would then be the rule, and while trade
left open to competition the people need have no more
fear of being swndled oppressed in the public markets
than they of being deaudod in any other braneh Of
business or trade.
