A WARMING TO The UNWAhIs
NEW YORK, March 3O.-The following circu-
lar has been issued by the Mayor of this city
Mayor Office, March N.-To the press of the
United States:-I beg to caution strangers
against New York circulars, tickets, shares
and chances in cooperative unions or gift en-
terprises or dollar stores or in any other pos
sible scheme, whereby property is promised o.
greater value than the price asked to be paid.
Every such advertised scheme is necessarily q
swindle and a false pretence. There does not
and cannot honestly exist any such schemes
in this city. Country newspapers which ad-
vertise them simply aid in the swindle. If all
newspapers in the Union would now make a
point of publishing and reiterating this infor-
nation, they would charitaby and, think, ef-
fectually counteract the swindling intentions
of those who use the mails for the false pre-
tences, and will also save the unwary hundreds
of thousands of dollars.
