Riodney, says: " Thie New~ York Cotton exchange is not. Only a gt-eat fraud but a great farce on its face, and the only "bunco'' game allowed in the Ulnited Stiltes, where- a man pretends to sell sonmethting and not allow.his customer to know what he is buying. It is practically the same as going into a store and saying I will buy a suit of clothes, bases $20, but at the same time the seller not even allowing you to know whether you receive a $3.75 suit or a $50, one. rhe nerve of it and the ignorance of the south so long is quite disgusting. Of course they should be wiped out of existence or the Louisiana state lot t ery. gambling houses and all buneo games be allowed. It is indeed a pleasure to see the south becoming edlieated, for this curse has cost the snouth Imore t0hanii the civil war.'' l'eolle don't pay $90,000 for a seat in tlie New York Cotton exchange for the fun of it.
