FRAUDULENT INVITATIONS OF SUPERIOR CoMMoDITIEs
Among the many dshonesties of trade which
the moral sense of the community is called upon
to suppress we would particularly most
pernicious and infamous practice adopted by un-
scrupuous dealers of initiating and counteffeiting
the exterior appearance and precautionary labels
of popular drugs, med camenta, and other articles
of personal consumption, and thus, by seizing up.
on the we'll acquired reputation of an enterprisipg
trader palming off most destructive and worthless
compounds, to the sore detriment not only Of the
consumer, but to the character of the man who
has expended thousands of dollars in bringing the
genuine article into esteem. and demand. These
petty larceny thieves are the best ofal honorable
dealers and traders, and the trade is as much high
way robbery as the violent appropriation Of their
neighbors purse; in fact, they arc beneath the
burglar and highwayman in dignity.-for these
latter felons exhibit bravery or recklessness Of
character in nowise distinguishing the mercantile
assassin who stabs in the dark. And ought they
not be rewarded with punishment commensurate
with the cowardice Of their crime? Wewere Ted
to these remarks by accidentally observing spu-
rious counterfeit of Udolpho Wolfe's Schiedam
Schnapps. The labels were initiated perfectly,
with the slight addition Of few letters to plead
technical avoidance Of the law against counterfeit
ting; the bottles were very similar, and every
thing carefully prepared to impose upon careless
purchaser. Now is not the man who perpetrated
this fraud, felon, o robber? Assuredly he Is;
for as Mr. Wolfe has expended large sums to bring
his genuine imported schnapps into popular de-
mand, that demand may be justly considered q
part of his capital in trade, and fellow stealing
part of his reputation is as much of thief Ms Il
he had stolen barrel of his schAapps in bulk
And to this crime he adds further one of defrau-
ding the community by giving them ruinous ar
ticle for the money they intended to expend for a
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 the
imposition. The remedy of Mr.. Wolfe should lie
in his holding all concerned up to the contempt Of
the community thus swindled by their operations,
and unconsciously imposed upon by their 1o1ious
composition. We trust that Mr.: Wolfe viii OBJ.
tain names, not only Of the concoctors Of these
counterfeits, but OF every man offering them for
sale, and then publish them to the world ;for his
own reputation and the health OF the community
demand that all parties should be nailedte the
pillory of popular execration

An INFAMOUS BUSINESS Nv hen ON enterprising
man strikes out q new business, to- the establishes
ment Of which he gives his industry, time, talents
and pecuniary means, can anything be more con-
temptibe than to have another steal in, and, under
specous pretexts, hold out to the public aninferis
or article, and endeayor to obtain their patronaee
Pray, what difference is there, so far as the hon.
esty Of the thing is concerned, between purloir-
ing the business by which citiaent hopes to make
his bread and stealing the bread itself? Aacofl-
mon thief, if he takes without leave however hum
cry, loaf of bread from bakers shop, ia appre.
hended and condemned to the penitentiafy for dar-
ing in surreptitious manner to npease his appe-
tite; but put respectable looking cont on his
back and few dollars in his pocket, and he may,
with impunity, nay, even with The applause Of his
fellows, by knavery, forgery or other infamous
means, take the business of an honest man from
him, and gounscathed of justice. All this is wrong
Some years since q gentleman Of this city fUdoI.
pho Wolfe) introduced to the United States a med-
Gated article of gin, which was Shighl y approved
by professional gentlemen as superior tonic and
deobstruent, and the. knowledge of which he.

throughout the country. SO soon. us tficksters,
who pass in the business community Us honest
men, saw that Mfr. Wolfe was likely to have hand
some returns for the time mud money which he
had expended, they set about forging his labels
and palnling off upon the people detestable and
poisonous compounds which they have the hnr5i::
hood to call "Schiedam sehnapps.' In some M
stances they have gone SO far' MS to put VOTES

cheap, will offer as the genuine article Pure

Udolpho Wolfe, Nos 18, 20 and % Beaver Street,
in this city, where it is gotten up exclusively We
think it duty which Mr.. Wolfe:owes To himself
and the community to publish, by name, the ras-
calls who are thus attempting to defroud both him
and those who would be his customers He should
not permit his modesty to hold him hack from
making so righteous an expose. - =
