MIR. WIN. b. JACKsON-DEAR SIR
Your postal and marked copies Of news.

1t commences to appear as If you con-
sidcrcd Il falsehood well adhered to, us
good as tho truth ! have no desire to
threaten you or to do you any injustice
and in order that you may understand
my object, | will explain it
When l first read the panic Bulletin"
posted in the HOCkus,in Post Office, the
very language of it was moro than was
able TO ab orb without some investiga-
tion. | have already given youa copy of
the denial (puLliCly made by tho Amcri-
can Bankers Assclution,) of the authenti-
city Of the bulletin and ii should bo suili-
cent proof that the bulletin is fraudulent
Thc denial WAS further emphasized upon
the request of the Association by the Hon.
Joseph G. Hendrix, member Of Congress
from New York, in speech delivered by
him in the House of Representatives on
June 22nd., 1891, in which he said ''that
the document although repeated In print,
never had signature and that its E,anda-
tory language, extraordinary suggestions
and idiotic theories stamp 1t as fraud
and II falsehood."
1t seems to nc you should appreciate
the situation and in honor and fairness
remove the bulletin from such u public
place. "A lover Of the truth rs you
claim to be- and as have always believed
you to be- should not hesitate to do all /
have requested you to do,
This document was undoubtedly con-
ceived for the purpose of generating

Of tho most reprehensible tricks known to

Tia well meaning man can mako usa of
such document not knowing its fraudu

fusal to discontinue its use when its char
