In the Unilted States no roulette wheels are as favorable to the play- ers as the Monte Carlo percentage. Here there are always two zeros. ¢ ored green. This is the kind of roulette wheel that Canfield used in his place next door to Delmonico’s and at Saratoga. Cheaper gamblers than Canfield either add an eaglebird to the two zeros or cut down the 36 numbers to 30 or 24. Very cheap gamblers bave roulette wheels with both zeros, the éagiebird and only 24 numbers, making a mathe- matical certainty of wiping out the player's stake in a few spins. ay The greatest virtue of the Monte Carlo game over Canfield's is. that at Monte Carlo they do not take 1. O. U's. No player can lose more money there than he has with him. Still in New York and 4n most of the United States a gambling debt isnot collectible at law, and no man cat be legally compelled to deprive his wife and children of cither their luxuries or their necessities to pay his gambling losses, provided he sticks to roulette. But all these games at Monte Carlo, Ostend, Saratoga, the Tender- Join, and wherever a roulette wheel spins openly or secretly are but drop in the bucket compared with the great gambling game conducted ev ery | week day except holidays, and every week in the year within the sountT of the chimes of Trinity Church. There has just been an example of the crookedness of this game, of doing the like of which John Morrissey woulkl have scorned. ‘There are many such incidents from time to time in Wall street, but the recent Union Pacific high financiering caused gam bling gains and losses greater than the total profits of all the gambling houses that have cum in Saratoga since the springs began to flow: The Union Pacific is one of the great transcontinental railroads Jess than ten years ago It went into bankruptcy, and on its reorganization its common siock had no value except its voting power, and it could be ‘bought by the cord for fifteen cents upon the dollar. Mr. Edward H. Harriman got hold of this property. He kept up its freight rates and express rates, he levied toll on the Pacific Coast and the Rocky Moun- tain West. He charged prices gréatly in excess of the cost of the ser- wice. He bought up competing lines. His railroads violated the old | common law and the laws of the United States against discrimination, | extortionate rates and rebates. By these means he accumulated a large surplus which did not show on the public statements of his road and of which the other stockholders were ignorant. By misleading statements the players of the Wall street gambling | game were led to believe that the Union Pacific was making only mod-| erate profits and that repairs and improvements necessarily absorbed the greater part of the net proceeds. Men who had invested In Union Pa-| Gific stock thought the Wall street quotations were all that it was worth and sold out. Small fry Wall street gamblers figured out that Union Pacific was selling for more than it was worth short.
