GREEN GOODS.

A gentleman OF the Seventh district re-
| oeived mysterious looking letter few
days ago, which on being opened proved
to be one OF those confidential communi
cation by means of which so large a
| number OF embryo rascaIs have recently
been swindled No man who would
open negotiations with such swindlers is
entitled to any sympathy of course, but
we published the letter that the public
may be informed as to the specious
arguments employed to induce man to
take the risk in this nefarious traffic.
CONFIDENTIAL.
Dear Sir:
am DESTROYS OF obtaining shreUd
agent in your locality to handle my
Goods | enclose herewith a news
paper clipping, which gives all the ill.,
| formation that could be desired aud ex
plains itself. Thinking you are in a
position to handle my Goods safely
| nave concluded to write you, and if you
don't care to invest in this enterprise l
| hope you will excuse the liberty l have
taken in making the proposition. have
| a very superior article of the kind, III
TACT the best ever issued or put on the
market; the sizes run .Irom one to twenty.
l warrant each and every note to be per-
feet az to Paper, Coloring, Vignette,
Printing, Engraving and Signatures,
and when made to appear as having
been used or handled much, l defy the
best bank clerk or expert 70 tell them
| from the genuine. 1t has cost me a
great deal of time and money to perfect
these goods and have at last succeeded
where many others failed, in producing
the Genuine Fibre Paper. My stock
| DOW is as neat and perfect as human
skill can make it aud absolutely no risk
in using it. Remember, this is an article
which will go anywhere and everywhere,
leaving tor you net profit of from Ten
TO Twelve Hundred per cent. according
to the amount you buy. These goods
cannot be detected in the ordinary
course of trade, aud only at the Treasury
in Washington through the duplication
of the numbers, and OF then il the
genuine bill of the same number is in Cir
culation, so that they are really as good
as Gold. Now, my friend Gas l will
take the liberty of calling you), we are
strangers to one another, but fyou are
DESTROYS OF handling these goods, and
will come here to see me, you will find
me square white man in all my deal
ings, as my manner OF doing business
will show. 1t is as follows: when you
come here will show you my entire
stock, compare them with the genuine
and in fact submit them to any test you
see fit, before you pay me single dollar,
then after you are thoroughly satisfied
on every point, you can select whatever
sizes you want and pay cash for your
purchase, and carry The goods home
with you Now, my friend, to do this
business safely, it must be done Face
to Face" Experience has taught me
that this is the only absolutely safe way
to transact this business, and most salts
factory for us both. When you come
here you can see me and what you are
buying; aud | can see and judge the
man | am to place confidence in for
future business, besides it is absolutely
necessary that | should see you on our
first deal, as there are some few secrets
pertaining to the business and necessary
to success, which don't care to put in
writing, and is only impaired to Gus
toner "by word of mouth" at person
al interview, as a customer only has the
same interest l have, in keeping these
private matters to himself. Remember,
| do not ask or expect to be paid one
cent till you have the goods in your own
possession. Do not ask me to send goods
by mail or express as it is not a safe way
for either of us; it is better to be sure
and safe than to transact business of
this nature in a careless manner. Now,
my friend, if you wish to make a deal
with me, do not hesitate too long over
the matter. 1t is always best to be
among the first than one of the last to
to take hold of thing of this kind. If
you will come on at once l can guarantee
you clear field to work in, and if am
satisfied at personal interview that you
would make me good Agent, | may
offer you more liberal inducements to
take the State Agency and make you a
special rate for any deal over $40, 900. II
you have not the money to buy my
Goods, | would consent to your taking
some confidential friend in with you,
who has, provided, of course, he is trust
worthy and could keep the secret. You
could both then come on together aud
make the deal, however you would be
very foolish to take any one IN with you
if you could raise enough money your
self. You can make money faster and
easier by dealing in my goods than you
are bound to be successfully there can be
no such thing as fail. An opportunity
like this to make an Independent fortune
in short time, and at a comparatively
small investment, is we'll worth favor
able consideration, and should not be
rejected hastily from conscientious
scruples or otherwise. 1t was never
intended that one man should have
millions and another nothing, the wealth
and good things of this world are too
unevenly distributed, others have grown
rich around you, but they were not slow
to grasp opportunities, and unless yon
have enough money to live comfort ably
on for the rest of your days, this is just
the business you want to take held OF, as
the goods can be handled with perfect
safety and immense profit TO yourself,
and enable you to provide competency
for your old age and pass your re-
naming years in ease and comfort. No
wrong in it, Uncle Sam has Millions of
our money locked up In the Treasury,
uselessly and unjustly so. | know that
you have some distance to come, but
considering the Tremendous Profits and
no risks whatsoever, it is we'll worth the
slight inconvenience of journey here,
and as far as expenses are concerned |
will make a liberal allowance to cover
them, and promise that if you do not
find my goods just as represented, or
should you upon any reasonable pretext
whatsoever decline to consummate
Trade, | guarantee to refund you your
entire expenses, from the time you leave
home till you return, and make liberal
allowance for loss OF time, Inconvenience
to blu siness, etc. Now, sir, your own
good Sc use shcu' d tell you l can have no
object in misrepresenting my goods and
bring = you here on foops errand,
and do not, because l am in this line of
business, doubt my word or consider me
otherwise than meaning you well, as
you are not asked toiuvest a single dollar
till you have seen, examined and are
thoroughly satisfied in every respect,
an0 have the goods in your own posses
sion. My terms are: five hundred dollars
buys seven thousand: six hundred and
fifty dollars buys ten thousand, and one
Thousand dollars buys twenty thousand.
Seven Thousand for five hundred dollars
is the very smallest amount | will sol
under any circumstances. | will give
you the Estate Right" that is the sole
privilege of handling the goods
throughout your State, if you invest
from six hundred and fifty dollars and
upwards. Remember, l sell my goods
so cheaply on the first deal ir order to
give my my customer fair start and
build up trade, on all after deals,
which surely follow, charge IS cents on
the dollar. | will not do retail trade,
as thereby it would let too many into
the business and it's secrets. Now, sir,
when you have fully made up your mind
and prepared to come on, obey the follow
