sFRAUDULEETIMITATIoNs OF supgBIoR COMMODITIES
Among the many ;,ishcnesties of trade which
the moral scnse of the ccnniuIityis called upon
to suppress, we would particularly notice n uiost
pernicious nud infamous practice adopted Icy uu-
scrupulous dealers of Initiating and counterse:ins

compO,:ds, to the -rc detrirent hot only uf the
consumer but TO the character Of TIE rnnn who
has expended thousands of dollars IN bringing the
genuine article into esteem and demnhl. These
petty larceny thieves arc the hest of all honorable
dealers and traders, anl the ;radeis as much high
way robbery as the violent appropriation of their
neighbours purse in fact, they nrc beneath the
burglar and highwayman in diguity--for these
latter felons exhibit bravery or rccklessness-of
character in uowise distinguishing the mercantle
assassin who stabs in the durk. And ought they
not be rewarded with punishment Commensurate
with the. cowardice Of their crime? We we're led
to these remarks by accidentally observing n spu-
rous counterfeit Of Udolpho Wolfs's Schiedam
Schnapps The labels were initiated perfectly,
with the slight addition of afew lettersto plead
technical avoidance Of tho Inv against counterfeit
ting; the bottles were very similar, and cgery
thing carefully prepared to imposeu upon careless
purchaser Now is not the man who pcrpetrated
this fraud, n felon, robber? Assuredly he IS;
for as Mr.. Wolfe has expended large sums to bring
his genuine imported schnapps into popular de.
mand, that demand mhy be justly considered
. part Of his capital III trade, and fellow stealing
u part of his reputation is AS much OF thief as #
he had stolen barrel Of his scInapps il bulk
And to this crime he adds further one ofdefrau-
ding the community hy giving them ruinous AZ
ticle for the money they intended to expend for
commodity in which they had confidence. And.
further, every man who participates Indirectly in
the fraud, by selling spurious articles is as much
of an offender as the principal who planned tho
imposition. The remedy Of NJ. Wolfe should lie
in his holding nj! concerned up to the contsmpt Of
the community thus swindled by their operations,
and uDconsciously imposed upon by their uoxipus
composition. We trust that Mr., Wolfe will OBJ
tain names, not on'y Of the cCncoc:ols Of these
countrrfrits, but os every man Offering them for
sale, and then publish them 20 the world; for his
own reputation and the health Of the community
demand that al parties should be nai,etl to tho
pillory of popular exccration.,
