newspaper telling how counterfezter-presum-
ably the author of the letter-escaIed conviction
| because his goods were so ike the genuine
| that the treasury agents could not swear
they were counterfeits is the bait used to catch
| the unwary sucker. Hardly week passes that
| the PoST-INTELLIGENCER does not re-
| ceive one or more OF these letters
from some subscriber who has received
| it. There are some, however, who
do not read the papers, and it is Ehis class that
| go to New York TO meet the
benevolent dealer in green goods and
| give UP $40 or moro in return
| for package OF brown paper or box OF saw

| swindle, because the men who woald be trapped
never read the papers.
