make such use of as We choose. We
publish it to show such of our read
ers as have not seen anything Of the
kind a sample Of the catch-penny
games gotten up in New York to
plav upon the ayarice and duplicity
of those weak or dishonest enough
to bite at such bait. 1t will be OBJ
served that the pretended firm of
Daily & Co. caution their intended
dupe again and again TO keep every
thing secret, as they wish only true
and tried men in the business, men
of their own selection, etc., and yet
their letter is Autographed and copies
sent everywhere to persons about
whom they know nothing except
what may be gathered from their
advertisements in the newspapers,
showing OF course that the secrecy
Of the matter is mere pretence to
pull the wool over the eyes of those
who have no higher sense of morality
or honesty than TO be willing to en-
gage in such disreputable business.
The probabilities are that no such
firm exists in II. Y, and that Che re-
mittances received in answer to
these letters are taken by the author
Of the scheme, whoever he may be,
and that is the last of it; the party
sending it is certain to make no in
quiry after it and Daily 4 Co. are
perfectly safe. 1t is a surer thing
than three-card monte or the box
confidence game, and greenhorns
from Idaho, visiting New York, may
find it to their advantage TO steer clear
Of all such enterprises, even though
they may have no objection to get
ting money dishonesty:
