FRAUDS THROUGH THE MAILS.
Schemes That Have Been Worked to
Deceive the Public.
From the Neto York Tribune

HIDW btb ANtW YIN ITtbhTtt.
WASHINGTON. April 1.-the frauds at
tempted through the use of the mails are
almost innumerable. They consist of
schemes to humbuR the unsuspecting pub
lie, and it seems that the greater the fraud
is, the greater are the returns 20 the
swindler. Nearly all these schemes make
use OF advertisements published in news
papers, and of circulars sent through the
mails. Without these means the public
could not be reached, and for this reason
the law has been enacted prohibiting the
use Of the mails for fraudulent purposes.
But it is TO be borne in mind that unless
complaints are made to the postoffice de-
partment frauds keep going on without it's
knowledge, and no investigation can be
made.
A few years ago an advertisement ap-
peared in the papers stating that for 81 a
recipe would be given for the permanent
cure of stammering. When the dollar was
sent a recipe was returned, which read /:
Keep your mouth shut" In another in
stance an advertisement recited that for so
cents recipe would be given for catching
all the fish in any given body of water.
When the so cents was sent a recipe would
be returned, telling the victim ITO dip all
the water out and then pick up the fish"
Another form of fraud is perpetrated by
means of advertisements so worded as TO
misead the public. Persons answering
them think that for 25 cents they are to
have a watch or some other valuable arti-
Gle, when in fact they merely get an illus
trated catalogue. An extensive fraud has
recently been carried on by persons pre-
senting themselves as commission mer-
chants or produce dealers, who send out cir
culars and price lists offering prices higher
than those ruling in the market. These
dealers have desk room in shops or saloons,
and the goods shipped to them are received
and sold at any price obtainable, no returns
whatever being made.
Some time ego there appeared glowing
advertisement OF a book exclusively for
young unmarried people, the price of which
was 80. For the s. cheap Bible was sent.
A fine timekeeper with the cut Of a watch
would be advertised for 81. The purchaser
would expect a watch in return, but he
would get a sun-dial. Great frauds have
been carried on by the proposed publication
Of handsome illustrated books, for whiah
photographs of prominent men wefe
solicited. IL was added that to have the
necessary copper plates engraved would
cost $40 rs. A surprisingly large number
responded with photographs and money.
but no books. of course, were published.
