N a crowded office at Third avenue and Forty-sixth street, New) York City, on the morning of July 15, 1863, a number of elips of] paper were tossed into a wheel, which was then apun rapidlyy The men whose names were written on the firet slips of | drawn then from the wheel were “drafted” as soldiers for the civil war jiu the midst of the “drawing” a paving stone smashed through the window. | Then came a whole flight of etones. A mob burst into the offee wrecking everything in sight, beating the officials who were on duty there, nnd winding up the performance by setting fire to the building.” Th | flames spread throughout the block. This was the first move in an up! that for nearly four days left New York City helpless under mob rule. ‘number of events led up to ft, but the “draft” was {ts {mmedtate cause. } ‘Tho civil war had dragged on for more than two verra, paralyein | many Industries, devastating homes and spreading poverty broadcast. war was costing the nation. almost three million dollars a day. (It {6 eat mated to have cost, in all, Including pensions, &o., not lees thas eeven * dollars.) To aneet this burden terribly heavy taxes were levied. The people large were not only forced to carry those taxes, but were enraged at rumors taal epeculators and grafters and dishonest manufacturers were piling up humm | tunes out of the national disaster The enthosiagm that had blazed from one and of aw countey to the her, when Mort Surnter was Ored on, a a to die down, Stories of hardship, of peril, of the ufterl sal in Southern war prisons, deterred anen from enllatiag. number of recrutts fell off. And ever, from the Gent « the clamor for more men to replace the thousands of slain. ‘There wane fo co > voluntary enlistments to Ml the gaps tn the ranks. So the Govera decided to draft men into tho army. In other words, to make a eartain leentage of the population serve as solilers whether they would vr uet. Heao jthe “wheel,” above desert and similar devices all over the North, dratting fell heaviest on the plain people, For men who were drafted for fervice had the privilege of hiring a eubstitute instead of going to the at | themselves, A substitute cost $9; and tn those hard tues few poor mea @ afford auch a sum. Everywhere there was much discontent. But in New Berd the {ll-feeling came to a head in the form of the “Draft Rio! 6 Most of the local militia had been drawn away from New York to beth army that opposed Tee's ad wsylvania.

Negroes (as the race indirectly and innocently respon «ible for the war) were hunted down, beaten to death or hanged. The Golore: Orphan Asylum was burned.

THE VITALITY OF COMPETITION. EGULATED monopoly i# better than competition, according to Wall street and other Sovinlists, Ir it? place where regulated monopoly should work better than competition it is in the telegraph business. It has nothing mudh for © government commiemon to regulate except rates and a law eimple Atails of service. Yet competition between rival telegraph com panies has brought bigger benefits than any commission was likely 10 asenre. | It took an investigating commission, two sessions of the Tegis- | Istnre and a court battle lasting several years to reduce the cost of gos in this city by 20 per cent., and that is an often-cited instance of euccessfnl regulation. If there is one! Tn the course of a few weeks competition | has eat cable tolls to Europe 50 per cent. | On fransportation regulated monopoly ean never do aa well as | competition, or indeed as well aa it ought to in the telegraph and | gas fields. The troubles of the local lublie Service Commission pro claim this. It ie only with infinite bother that it gets anything done. Before the simplest bettermenta are made in subway and “L" service there area protracted hearings and litigation laeting months or years. The railroads fight every effort to enlarge facili- ties because their profite are promoted by congested conditions. Were they competitively managed ti ase patrons would try to fp because there was money in it. The McAdoo tunnels, although cited as proof ihat a satisfactory service could be given without epur of competition, prove the oppo- site, They must compete with ferries, which charge « lower fare, and must provide a service a0 efficient that people will use them even at the higher price. The rivalry between the New York Central and Penneylvanin ronds in maintaming fast expreeses to Chicago tunes up the qual- ity of their service on every mile of track between the two cities. ‘The potential competition of water and rail routes has lowered freight rates for conat cities. This Stato in spending a hundred millions for a barge canal because it believes in competition, Up to a certain point consolidation may be a good thing, beyond that a bad thing. It is well that the forty-eight States of the Union are under one government, but would it be well if Canada and the Latin Americas were also ruled from Washington? A ten- witillion-dollar steel plant can produce more efficiently than a bhack- woods forge, but can the billion-and-a-half Steel Trust show higher efficiency than rivals capitalized at a fraction of tho eum? Not unless the Federal Commiesioner of Corpomtions is wrong. His report states that the Steel Trust's only advantages are control of a great ore field and of the railroad that taps it. —————4 2 —__—. | Sot until tate on the fourth day was the upitatn | NS y crusted. ny then news nad been recetved that the 4 FF gohanging $ way tennovarity suspended, ‘Atso, thousanda of troap rdddedibeled had poured into New York and podles of cavalrymen wera] petrolling the atreets.
