Affhhp to New Tort s a crisis by tbe leaders of the Anti-mo-nopoly. Equal Bights or Locofoco party. who plastered the walla and fences of the city with a handbill calling a meeting of tbe people to be held to tb# City part. On tbe appointed afternoon some 0,000 persons, mostly foreigners, gathered la front of tbe city hall Uoees Jacques was chosen chairman, but the crowd waa quickly parted Into groups and addressed by several speakers Conspicuous among tbe orators was Alexander Ulng. Jr. many times a candidate for city recorder. He ciqaed bis harangue by offering a set of resolutions to be presented to the legislature sad praying for a law prohibiting tha circulation of bank notes under $100. They were adopted, and Ming was carried off on tbe shoulders of hip

} unlawful or bann-

Anotber speaker meanwhile waa dressing another group and. carried away by tha denunciation of the holders of flour, exclaimed: “Fellow citizens. Mr. bait has now 63,000 barrels of flour In his store. Let us go and offer him $8 a barrel, and If he does not take It"—here somebody touched him on tbe shoulder—“we shall depart from him to peace.' The hint was enough, and tie hearers set on in a body for the EU Hart A Co., to Was) Tbe clerks, on the approach of the mob, hastened to abut the doors, hut one was burst In and barrels of flour were rolled Into tbe street and opened. Mr. Hart, with a few police, now arrived on the scene, but they tacked with staves and atones and driv. eu from the scene. Barrels of flour and sacks of wbeut meantime had been thrown from the window by and the flour eagerly gartered up by women and children. A thousand ' bushels of wheat and COO barrels of flour are said to have been destroyed. While the mob was thus engaged the cry "Meecb. Meech!" was raised, and a party went off toward the East rtrrr to attack the warehouse of Meecb A Co. but stup|«d on the way and Backrd the warehouse of Herrick A Co_ and deal roved thirty banvls. In a card published In the newspapers Hart A Co. remarked that the Impression prevailed that they were monopolizing flour. The truth was. all flour to tbe city was the property of the millers and was held under tbe control of the owners. It was need lass to aay that the destruction of an artid# could not tend to reduce tha pries. Nor did It. f flour at once went up

00 cents barrel.

At a second meeting In the park s few weeks liter the crowd came bearing flags luacrtt«ed “No rag monay— give us gold or silver," “Down with chartered luondbollcs." “We go for principle: no monopolies.” “We will enjoy our liberties or die In the laat ditch.” A carjicuter's »>eoch was used for a platform, and mounted on this Ming urged bis bearers not to use rag money, which was the foundation of arttstocracy and monopoly. Another speaker advised the crowd to go west to a body, bu.. tend at *1 -r. an acre, found a new stale and let the aristocrats buUd their own This time the artillery paraded, and no disorder occurred. Tbe panic of IS37 |>aaaed Into history as probahli tbe Uuwt severe m oietary crisis the country has ever experienced.

PUTTING BUSINESS RIGHT WITH THE PUBLIC. A few yean ago soma big Industrial organizations and certain railroads em ployed business tactics which, accord tog to tbe popular Idea, would make the financial adventures of Plxarro Morgan or Captain Kidd look aa a am teurlab aa tha vertuil exploits of Hobby Make-Believe. AH are more or I tea acquainted wttb the details. We will concede that thanwere some glaring abuse*, but tbe pub Uc when It came to apply a remedy Ik norad tha fact that these were peculiar to comparslively few Institutions and Instead of tarkllng tbe trouble where It lay furiously assailed everything classifiable aa buslnesa-the trust mag Date, the Independent manufacturer ready and ai xlous to obey the law. tbe small retailer, a law abiding and useful cttlaeo-tba Innocent and tbe guilty suffering alike. Reemtogly tbe law was Invoked not to regulate, but to perse Thera could ha hut one result. Bust news was demoralised, and tba whole country has felt tbe evil affects.

Tbe plan Is simply to educate the public by taking It Into the business man's con 11 deuce. Meetings will tw held to vsri ous trade and Industrial centers. All classes of cttlirus will be Invited. The purpose of these meetings Is to give 1 public a new and correct viewpoint to tha effects of drastic legislation and restriction of bualuesa on the prosper tty of tbe country Every effort will be mads t(Strive the public a clear view of tbe problems and difficulties which

beset business
