Now it is the blind pool" and next
year Ii will be some other fraudulent
device of sharpers to get the money OF
the o Why are they duped? Be-
cause they read and hear that large
fortunes are made in a brief period by
certain men. and they assume that a
syndicate of professedly truly good per-
sons can do something in that line for
them and so intrust them with their
money.
Any syndicate or institution which
promises more than a fair market rate
of interest on money as a return upon
investments in any sort OF an enter
prise should be viewed with suspicion
If not left severely alone. Deposits Of
$50 or 800 cannot be made to earn
large returns. and when the banks are
full of idle money, as is now the case,
opportunities for investments which will
return 10 or Is per cent. a month will
not be left to syndicates collecting small
sums from thousands Of people.

The wooden mills of the country are
run ing full force, says the Sentinel,
and the two in this city are working
full time. 1t does not explain the rea-
son, which is that the mills have free
wool and the benefit of the Mckinley
law until Jan. 1, 1895. AS a large part
Of the goods for mex season must be
upon the market as early as Jan. /, a
large number of mills are working on
orders. When the duties of the present
tariff law on wooden goods go into effect
Jan. / the importers will fill the country
with the goods admitted at the much
ioY-er duties. and which are now col
lee ing in the bonded warehouses in the
larger cities. The activity in the wooden
mills is but a temporary squirt. Few Of
them will be running half time next
February because the foreign competitor
will be on the market to possess the

LATEST FRAUDULENT SCHEME.

1t turns out that the most OF the in
vestors in the blind pool" syndicate of
Pittsburg. which the press of that city
has exposed, are people of limited
means, whose small savings represent
continual self-denial. They are mechan-
les. clerks, workingmen. laborers. who
have placed sums ranging from $40 to
800 with these pool managers, caught
by the flattering inducements held out
by circulars sent through the mails and
otherwise conspicuously advertised. 1t
people would learn that any scheme or
enterprise which promises to double the
money intrusted TO them in two, three
or four years is bogus. There is no le-
gitimate industry or trade that can
yield over 10 per cent. a year profit, and
more are fortunate If they divide from
profits 5 or 6 per cent. a ear. Men who
have some knowledge of affairs and
having $500 or 1900 to invest rarely If
ever touch such schemes. They may
lose their money in wheat pits and
stocks, but if they do they can give
plausible reasons for their ventures aft
er they have lost. They would not be
duped by a syndicate which promises
dividends of 10 or 10 per cent. a month.
because they know that money cannot
earn that return. and if il could that
the men holding such advantage would
hire money and make fortunes for them
selves.
In spite of the fact that such knowl-
edge is general and that the past is full

the greater part OF which they will lose.
Two or three years age thousands OF
people in the Eastern States took their
accumulations out of savings banks TO
invest in endowment schemes. which. on
the face OF them. were preposterous.

O MUCH MONEY.

The report of Consul Bell, at Sydney,
New South Wales, shows that a people
may be damaged by having too much
money placed within their reach. For a
period of years Great Britain poured
capital into that country in the shape
of loans. With a population of less
than 1000, 900. the twenty-five Australian
banks showed assets of $S26. GOO, 900 and
liabilities of s574, 900. 900 in October, 1892.
which is one-fifth of the capital of the
national banks of the United States.
The loans of the Australian banks were
over three times as much per capita as
those of the American banks. With
such a credit Australia plunged into one
of those periods of kiting prosperity
which eliminate in the most disastrous
financial enterprises. Indeed. the greater
the credit the more disastrous the col
lapse. AS the result Of so much capital
belonging to England that nation is
now a creditor of Australia to the ex-
tent of 81, 946. 400. 900. This means a debt
of $500 per capita. To pay the interest
on this vast sum. 81 per cent. or more
than one-fourth of the entire revenues
OF the colonies, were needed every year.
AS a matter of course 10 people could
stand such a strain, and collapse re-
suited. But while the money could be
borrowed and be spent, Australia was
a veritable Eldorado. The city of Mel
bourne, while growing, had no parallel
in the world for apparent prosperity, but
a year after the collapse it had 20, 900
vacant houses. Business. which doomed
for a time. fell dead with the crash,
and a generation will not see the last
fruits OF the evil of too much credit-too
much capital to be had by borrowers.

If il is true. as stated. that Mr.. Cleve-
LAND intends to make his permanent
residence in Washington after the ex-
piration of his term of office he has lost
his legal residence in New York and has
no right to vote or register there. The
question of residence is one of inten-
ton. IL a person who is travelling or
who has temporarily changed his resi-
dence intends to return to his former
place of residence he does not lose his
legal residence in that place. no matter
how long he may be absent. Thus a
person may hold office in Washington
twenty years without losing his former
residence If he intends and expects TO
return TO it when he shall quit office,
but If he abandons that intention he
loses his former residence. 1t will be
hard to make Democrats believe that
Mr.. Cleveland's decision is rot a trick
TO avoid voting for Hill. and yet he may
be acting conscientiously.
