within the last week there nas o00A 'A
other rascally attempt on the part oi 7" n.
her Of the money.gamblers Of Walt stree,
New York. 10 get up another panic 10 goio
and money 10 order that they misnt fop .ho
country Of few millions of dollars. Iney
won't 90 far as to endcavor to circulate re-
MORT that there was deficit of SlO,00O,ooo
IN the Treasury of the United States. In
this they were foiled.
There never was in the world before a
fraternity of greater sapegraces than arc the
gold gamblers OF New York. They are very
wealthy people, and the most of their wealth
has been acquired by trick and strataSem-
by preyipg upon the public. They have IN
the pursuit Of their dishonest occupation
lost all sense of honor and Of shame. 1t IS
the wealth Of these men and the moral 'n-
fluence of their bad examples that have de-
moralized to a great degree New York fash'
ionable society and given to riches title 10
respect or social prominence that has Deen
denied 10 true merit when unsustalned Dy
wealth. Coarse men, real vulgarians, are
courted and lionized for their wealth; but
it is also due to the vcnal spirit of Fashion
to say that when those vulgarians are tlnan-
cially ruined By misfortune they are cXlled
by contempt.
But these gamblers of the metropolis have
immense power over the whole Union.
They have but to get upa panic, and through
the telegraph wires they ditluse it in an hour
throughout the Union. Immediately those
wires arc busiy engaged in bearing orders
from all parts of the country. These orders
are sent right into the hands of the robbers,
and it is the easiest thing in the world Tor
them TO combine to rob the far-of persons
who have been entrapped. In this way one
cunningly-e>tatlishe panic will rob the
country of vast sum that flows into the
pockets of the gamblers.
The manner in which the unstlspectlng
inhabitants of the distant cities and towns
arc robbed is well illustrated in the treat
ment melted out TO them in the settlement OF
the transactions upon the celebrated "Biack
Friday" The country spectators bad to
"pocket their losses" at 165, but the rob-
bers settled amongst themselves ut 1873. The
absent are always wronSed.
The city government of New York re-
Gently made war upon the faro dealers and
keno and other games. They are very small
and harmless sinners compared with the
Wall.Street gamblers. The latter have
robbed the country of more money i'll one
day than all the faro gamblers in
the United States have won in
decade. The faro gamblers win and lose,
and their gains seldom cover their expenses
What with extravaganza and dissipation they
nearly all die poor. The greatest evil they
do is to lead the young into vice. by which
SO many are lost. But your money and
stock gambler ruins men of all ages and de-
moraizes whole communities. They are in
tiniteIy worse than faro dealers. 1t was i
mockery for the great city of New York to
devote so much effort TO put down the faro
table when the gold gamblers, who are no
better than highway robbers, are allowed to
carry on their dishonest trade with perfect
impunity, society being ready always to re-
ceve the successful robbers with open arms.
