60 into No Schemes.


We do not often get out of patience, but we
are driven almost TO the extremity of good
nature when. after all we have said about
stock speculatiODs, there still come letters,
often several a day, asking either If some
particular circular does not present an ex.
ception To our general remarks, or stating the
whole case as If 1t were a perfect novelty,
and asking our opinion of the scheme. Many
letters ask AZ TO the responsibility of the
parties sending out the circulars, or publish
ing the attractive advertisement. etc. Now.
let us say just once more our say on this SUBJ
ject, and We hope our readers will accept IL
as anal, for We are really tired of going over
the same ground again and again. We nave
answered scores of letters by mail, in order
to avoid saying anything more in print, but
yet they come, and keep coming. Please at
tend. individuals and firms, by attractive
circulars and advertisements, show how by
small Investments large sums may be m ,dr.
They show this by al abundance of figures.
and "fgures"-it Is proverblal-wop.t lie"
The usual proposition is To send the parties
certain sums, which said parties will use in
specializing In the stock Market
There is a plausible attempt to show
by figures now a certain sum must make q
large profit II invested in "a puts and calls
"specii al privileges" and all the rest of 1t.
Most of our letters inquire as TO the money
rer possibility oil tine advertisers, anCasK II
they will do AS they agree. So far our in
guiTies 20, the advertisers appear to have
abundant spital, and the question naturally
arises, II SO much money i 10 he made, why
they 90 not make IL themselves. Whether
they Will do as they agree, We can not say,
but know nothing 10 the contrary, as, 50 far
we have observed, they do not agree to do
much besides receive the money. Now, TO
answer All letters, for We are through with
writing individual replies, We would say,
that no business man in New York City
Won d tee known TO be concerned IN the
ApeCulations. His credit would be gone at
once. No clerk, cashier, teller, bOok-keepsT
or any other In bang, Insurance company,
meIc4ntile firm, or what yer place of trust,
would have II known that be was engaged in
avail streest speculations," As he is well
aware that his place would be taken from
him at once, This is tbs esteem In " hich
such matters are held by the solid men of
business. Now, If our readers think that
they know better Than the substantial mer-
tunites To know all about Wall ST. and Its
ways, let them act upon their knowledge
We have Tor years advised such schemes to
those " no can afford to invest in them. II
they will acquire their knowledge through
personal eXpe fence. let them take the con-
sequences. No doubt many readers think
We devote too much space to this matter.
Could they see the number of letters that
come To u.s. and the earnestness of the writer's,
tn y would think we were right in attempts
ing to save hundreds from yenturing their
hard earnings In such schemes.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE Times comment
ing on Lord Beacons6sld's speech a. the
Lord Mayors banquet last night, points
out the absence OF any reference to the
eastern convention, and says: "But if the
speech is not exciting it is not disturbing;
