Gambling IN prOdncfs.

Under the above head the New York
Tribune has some pertinent reflections,
and they deserve the serious considera-
tiou of the business classes. The
Tribune thinks that the future pros
perlty and welfare Of this country are
threatened more by the growth of spec
ulation than in any other way. I'm
questionably there is legitimate and
helpful speculation which is particular
iy beneficial in the long run, to the
producers. Its proper and sustaining
influence has been recognized by every
modern student Of social or economic
problems. But this is not to be con-
founded with the rage for gambling
which has appeared of late III the mar
kets for nearly all important products,
as well as in the market for stocks.
The man who buys 1000 barrels of
pork, takes it aud provides for its stor-
age, and keeps the stuff until he can
realize profit or becomes satisfied
that his judgement was in error, takes
part in very different kind of bust
ness from him who deposits as a mar
gin the cost of 1000 barrels, buys
$4,000 barrels which he never wishes
Or expects to see, and presently sells
to other gamblers like himself, giving
or taking the difference in price. The
growing prevalence Of this kind OF
gambling is not generally known. BY
many intelligent men it is supposed
that such deal ngs are in some degree
more reputable and safer than mere
specuiatlons in stocks But the multi
ellcatlon of grain, cotton, provisions,
oil, metal and other exchanges, and the
great number of transactions which
they record, prove that the gambling
vice in this form is more seductive
and dangerous than in any other.
Many banks and business firms have
gone to ruin this year because Of the
ventures of men who would have
thought it objectionable for them to
speculate in stocks.
