RAILROADS AS FARO CHIPS.

some "Reminiscences of the Historic Battle
Between Jay Gould and the Wander
bilts.
The year 1880 was the year that saw
the first railroad in running order in
the United States Twenty years later
railroad robbery of the people was in
full swing.
Henry Clews, in his history of Wall
street, tells US that the month of Au-
gust, 1851, was notable for the vast
,mourt of railroad gambling that took
place during its thirty-one days. Large
blocks of stock of all kinds were un-
loaded on the New York market, and
Erie, a paying road, dropped from 90 to
5S94, as the result OF a mere gambling
maneuver, for as a matter of fact the
road was increasing in actual value
every day; but to delude outside specu-
lators the stock was made to ''sympa-
thize" with the general scare and drop
of the market.
In July, 1854, Mr.. Schuyler, president
of the New York & New Hampshire
railroad, issued 1000, 900 in fraudulent
stock. The discovery of this was fol-
lowed in September of the same year
by another severe twist of the Erie.
Passing the ups and downs of rail-
road gambling for nearly eleven years,
we find Erie again dropping fourteen
points in eleven days under the manip-
ulations of Daniel Drew. This was
followed by an attempt at a pool which
was defeated by the unexpected sale of
a large amount of stock held in En-
gland.
In October of the same year GS6S)
Drew was turned out Of Erie manage
ment, and the stock went up ten points.
Vanderbilt, in December, 1867, got con-
troll of the New York Central, and hav-
ing obtained the Hudson stock dirt
cheap through Wall street machinery,
he tried to secure Erie by the same
process True, he was enormously
rich and several judges stood ready to
issue injunctions against his rivals, but
there were abler gamblers than he.
In July. 1868, Gould was elected pres
;dent of Erie, after which he, with
Drew and Jim Fisk, proceeded to milk
Vanderbilt in style worthy OF these
Napoleons Of finance, 30 curious bit
Of Wall street blacklegism is it.
Vanderbilt was anxious to prevent
An over-issue of Erie stock by the
wreclsers that then controlled it He

THE DRONES OF SOCIETY.

Working Bees OF the Colony.
1 shall not criticise bankers, only as
manifestations of a diseased society.
If soceity were healthy, such a thing
as banker would no more have an
existence than a healthy man have
ulcers on his body. Men, in their ig-
norance of what is good or bad for
them, have permitted other men as
selfish and more cunning than them
selves, to make certain laws and profit
off them. The majority of voUers dc

When men get wrong ideas in their
minds, it takes much proof to dislodge
them. On the surface it seems
that banks are very desirable and
convenient institutions. They care
for your money, keep your accounts
and are SO nice and accommodating
(sometimes) and don't charge you a
cent But they have the best corners
in the city, the finest furniture, dres
and live well-and don't charge you
Did you ever ask yourself? Now some
body pays all these bills, and are you
sure you don't pay some of it, and af-
ter all pay pretty dearly for the care of
your money? Let us illustrate the
methods The masses put their
money in bank, and the business
men and SPECTATORS borrow it But
they add the interest on the cost of do
ing business, same as rent, taxes or
fuel, and the masses pay this interest
on their own money when they buy
goods. And those who do not deposit
pay interest, too. Ifpeople would read
the bank statements carefully they
could tell how much they pay the
banks for taking care of their money,
and it's pretty heavy salary. If they
could understand it, they would see
the advantages in having government
banks, which would never fail, and the
interest, instead OF going to a few men
would go into the public treasury. thus
lessening the taxes Thus they would
have their money safe ami get an in
