Central. Hudson River. and New York and

Central, Hudson River, and New York and
New Haven and New York and Harlem rail-
roads, made 80 much money out OF the western
farmers that they built the Grand Central de-
Dot. which is one of the wonders Of the west
ern World and to cap the climax Vanderbilt
erected the greatest freight depot in America
for the Hudson River and Central roads. It
covers the whole grounds once known as St.
Johns Park. Whose money built these de-
pots? The western farmers money. The rail-
roads and manufactures have robbed the farm
ers. Now they are paying for their greed; for
the farmers have been compelled to buy less OF
the country merchants, and the wholesale mer-
chants in turn, have been compelled to buy
less OF the importers and manufacturers; so
that the avarice OF the railroad companies ard
the manufacturers has precipitated the hard
times. In 1872 it was very unsafe to cross
Broadway; policemen were stationed at Ger
tain crossings to pass ladies from one side OF
the street to the other, and to regulate the
throng of vehicles; but now Broadway IS the
same as an avenue; there is little need for po-
icemen to interfere with refractory teamsters;
there is room enough. No great throng OF bus
mess now. Some OF the CITY papers nope 1oI
better times this fall; but if they want perma-
nent and general prosperity, they must advo ;,
cate free trade, and ''down with monopoly.
Merchant ships are now lying up.ldie tor Wan'
of freight. Factory operatives are out OF en-
ploy1nent and money Another cause why 81
many are out OF employment, many OF TN
shoe manufacturers get their work done IN thu
country, and in State and county prisons, ant
in houses of refuge. At the houses OF refug
on Randall's Island, and at the Catholic Pro
tectory for boys, at Westchester, many small
articles are manufactured and both OF thes
institutions have printing department. IN
Protectory has fifteen hundred boys, and ia
House OF Refuge about seven hundred. III
number OF boys committed tor crime may
traced to monopoly, the prolific parent OF pov
erty and crime. Z. CCDMORE.
