A Card 10 the Businessmen of Somer
set,

do not think it improper to call the
attention of some of our business houses to
the fact that the crowd of men who infest
their establishments are an injury TO their
business. In company with two other
ladies last week started to go to a prom
inent store to make purchases. We found
upon our arrival no less than FIVE persons
around the entrance, and passed on to an
other establishment and found the same
state of affairs here, and finally went
to the third and here made our purchases.
The business housea that keep these idlers
from their doors and sidewalks will not
only receive the thanks of the ladies but
will also receive much larger patronage
The blasphemy used by these men is dis
graceful and their company should be
=huned by all gentlemen. LADY.

Financial Education.

SUCH a recent occurrence as the fail
ure of the Women's Bank, in Boston,
Mass, is too suggestive social fact to
be trivially dismissed with a sneer, as it
has been generally by the press.
Though the entire scheme was con-
ceived and inaugurated as swindle,
this fact alone is not SO unusual an in
cident as to make it specially note
worthy. Enterprising fnanciers, both
male and female, have before this in
our financial history terminated brill
liant careers in the vulgar reality of
jail. But it is matter of very pro-
found interest that SO many victims
should have been found, belonging, evi-
dently, to the so-called educated class
es, who could have been taken in by SO
transparent swindle as promise to
pay eight per cent. a month 1t sug-
gests a profundity of ignorance con-
cerning the actual facts of business and
industry that is ghastly for the student
of sociology. Nor because the dupes
were generally women is it's signifi-
cance lessened in any degree. 1t is
only a more brilliant success, as brill
fancy is measured in financial concerns,
than is constantly going on in railroad
management, as was recently eXempli-
fed in the Reading and other concerns.
1t is not the payment of interest taken
from new loans that makes an indus
trial enterprise successful, whether it
is railroad or woman's bank that
pursues this policy. The rate of in
terest paid is a small matter in consid-
ering the common sense or the morali-
ty of such course. And it shows quite
as decidedly how mistaken the business
world is concerning the reality, that it
is only the disaster that comes inevita-
bly, from such course, in a railroad
equally with a woman's bank, that puts
stop to the continuance of such a
financial career.
That such proceedings are possible
shows the need there is for financial
education in all classes; for the prom
ises of such schemes are as absurd as
ever those of the old alchemists to
transmute by some jugglery any cheap
material into gold were. And yet in
their day the alchemists found plenty
of dupes. When it is remembered that
the average increase of wealth produced
by labor of all kinds-the only real pro-
ducer of wealth there isis only about
three per cent, and tends rather below
than above this, it is evident that any
scheme, whether it is railroad, a
woman's bank, or any other financial
operation that promises to pay absurd
! dividends, is as evidently tending to
failure as would be an attempt to raise
a crop upon poor soil without the use
of any fertilizer. But yet. if we may
Judge from the number of dupes which
schemes obtain that are as manifestly
impossible as is a lottery to give prizes
to every one, the need of financial edu-
cation is as great as it has ever been.
The spirit of greed and speculation,
which has been raised by the modern
activity of life, is probably destined to
run its course; and promises, as alche-
my, even by its follies, prepared the
way for chemistry, to aid SO much in
the financial education of the commune
ty, as to lead eventually to a recogni-
ton of the fact that no one is entitled
to that he does not earn.-M. T.
