LIFE OF A GREAT CITY.
4 Harper's Young PEOPLE.

From Harper's Young People.
Before tell how visitors come into
and go ont of New York. | should make
clear to the readers the size of the ma
jestic army of men, women, and chill
dren that marches into the metropolis
from our wharves and depots every
day. Nowhere that l have been able
to think of looking or iuquiring can |
find any records or estimates that are
SO complete as to enable me, or anyone,
to say with any positiveneSs just what
is the extent of our floating population.
Ten years ago it had long been the GUS
tom TO say that of tourists, foreigners,
shoppers, and wage-earners, something
like $50, 900 souls came here every day.
Perhaps that estimate was too high at
that time; certainly it is too low now.
We know that about 130,O persons
cross the Brooklyn bridge every day,
and that about 100. 600 railway passen-
gers come and GO over the tracks in
the Pennsylvania and Grand Central
depots. Cut these figures in half to
represent the movement one way, and
we have the sum of lis. 200 daily visit
oAS y. tlkO>S liTcS SGlGs aunt we
know that 500, 900 passengers come
here each year oa foreign steamers
or l, 400 day-but there are only 1900
foreign steamers as against LOO do
mestic steamers, 1900 sailing ships,
$50 steam passenger-boats, and IS ferry
lines-the last bringing the wage-earn-
ers who work in New York for the sup
port of nearly 2,00o,0 900 persons living
IN the immediate suburbs of the city.
OF all who come by these routes there
Is 10 record whatsoever, and OF % rail-
ways that empty their trade into this
city. nave mentioned only the bust
hess OF those terminating at two depots
the two very great depots.
As cities go. New York IS an easy
place 10 get into and out Of 1t IS long
and narrow. and has only few main
avenues. side by side. leading from
where the ocean steamers and most of
the ferries come in. To the northern
end. where the island IS joined TO the
mainland \ dozen great avenues
running lengthwise along the island.

To ferries. are all the streets that :

or pork or cotton in the world. He
does not claim that the natives are
overfed, or that additional supplies
would only add to the unmanageable
surplus now on hand. 1t would be
grave mistake if he did, but there
is an ample assumption that there is
an over product, else why does he make
Il further decline in prices contingent
upon a fall crop?
We suspect that Mr.. Banner is af-
fiicted with the kind of mental stra-
bismus, which Obscures his vision to
certain Well recognized facts. Had he
stated that present low values We're
mostly owing TO the general want of
confidence, and the consequent high
estimate placed upon money, and that
4 continuation of the present policy in
our national finances would bring on
cies would have had greater weight
with the people. 1t is monkeying with
our money that destroys confidence.
The want of confidence centerS every
mans purpose upon getting his effects
into the only money recognized by our
single standard administration in
Washington. This makes real money
scarce and high, and likewise causes
a corresponding decline in all property
values. It's the gold basis policy of
the government that ails us Mr.. Ben
ner, and prices will be low regardless
Of the size of this years crop.

stranger Is likely to concern himself
with. Along four of the lengthwise
avenues run the lines of the elevated
steam railway, which is so built as to
connect with all these two dozen prin-
cipal streets 1t does the greatest
business of any railway in the world.
1t has carried more than SOO.O0 pas
sengers in day. and annually trans
ports about 800, OOO, 900 souls. This ele-

stills in the principal streets, in great
part takes the place that is occupied by
cabs in most of the other capitals of

call cab at home and have it carry
their trunks and themselves from depot

their baggage to a transfer express
company, and themselves take 1.-THE

under it on the same avenues A great
deal of fault is found with New York
because its cab service is poor and ex-
pensive, but the reason for this is that
the city is SO easy to understand and
SO well supplied with street railways

would be absolutely at sea in London,
Paris or Berlin.
