Il Is now estimated that the p. s. Dean
Company had $4,000 customers" who
Invested" with Il the handsome sum Of
$500. 900 that will never come back any
more. BY liberal use OF printers Ink,
promises the most extravagant and a
shrewd way OF drawing on the victims
that took the first bait. the concern work
ed one of the most elaborate swIndles OF
recent years.
1t Is believed that in the past year TO-
900 900 printed circulars were sent out. A
return Of 400 per cent WAS promised. The
long.hcaded scoundrels were not in 50
great hurry that they grabbed the hrsi
money that came in and made OF with 1t.
Out OF receipts of money sent for In
ves,ment they sent their victims what
purported 10 be handsome profits, at the
same time suggesting that this remit
tance be returned for further investment.
This usually worked so well that not
only the fictitious profits came back but
more money along with them. Men and
women nortgaged their homes to get into
the good thing. There were agencies all
over the country All OF these raked In
money, some by the CARLOAD, A llttle
community in the state Of New York is
$4,000 out
The engineers Of The scheme cannot be
found. but their victims are very much
in evidence. The instructive part Of this
story is not that there are scoundrels
capable Of doing this sort Of thing. but
hat there are enough silly persons to
make the thing profitable Fools are the
aw material of this industry.
The promise Of fabulous returns as a
sure thing" should brighten anybody.
bu; instead OF Frightening it seems to at
tract. Fabulous returns are possible.
but never without great risk. The In
vestment of few thousand dollars in
mining the precious metals or in devei-
oplug new device, has brought large
profits. but such ventures are not of the
Dean Company kind.
When anybody says that he has sure
method Of making immense profits. or
Of making any proass. In specuiattng In
the markets, he is either knave or a
fool. Usually he is a kuaye, In either
case he is not a man to whom money
should be entrusted. The Dean Com
pany was knavlsh concern that went in
70 do Just what 1t did.
After this lesson and exposure may we
hope that we have seen the end of these
things! Hardly. The same kind OF job
can be worked again inside Of year. 1t
IL as sure as it is trIte to say that there
10 always fresh crop OF fools We pity
them, but it seems impossible to save
diem from their folly.

E,nor,. nr sonth,rn Iron.

NEW ORLEANS, April lo-wheH,
last year. Alabama iron was sold in Flu
rope at a fair profit, it was regarded
as an experiment and although the
sales ran up to 100000 tons, and the
experiment seemed to be successful,
there were thousands who thought the
business would prove merely temper
airy. being due to the depression in the
price Of all industrial products in this
country But instead Of the iron sales
ceasInE with 1896. as 40 many prcdic-
ted, they have Increased With 1897. and
the FIRST three months Of the year show
exports Of 10000 tons az compared
with 100000 for the entire twelve
months Of 1896 Should this rate OF
Improvement continue. the exports for
the present year viii reach 100000 tons;
and, as matter OF fact, they are cX-
pectcd 80 largely exceed that figure,
These exports are made to England
This export business has proved n
stmulant to the iron industry In the
South. and has brought IN operation a
number Of furnaces which we're former

boIg operated with the specific purpose
Of supplying the foreign trade.

Now it appears that in filing the pro-
test Of his government against certain
features Of the DIngley tariff bill the
German ambassador has neglected the
poIlteness that should be feature OF d.
plomacy. He Is said to have uncorked
the walls OF his wrath within the walls OF
the state department, where he did
streak the air blue with suiphurous
article OF bitten.

bassadorshlp has made himself persona

1t Is remarkable that when President
Mckinley went down the Potomac for A
little recreation he took with him his
wife and two or thrse other ladies, some.
thing that President Cleveland never did,
II was noticed also tina, President Nc
Klnley did not take along some things
which seemed indispensable To President
ClevelaHd's comfort or qualification.
The differences here noted mark 20
some extent the difference between the
two men. Presiden, Mckinley Is dis
tinc,ly a family man For many years
he has been the close personal attendant
OF an invalid wife. Amid all the cares
OF public life he found time TO minister 20
the wants OF his wife and to cheer her
with his presence
Mr.. Cleveland married late In life and
his wife was much younger than himself.
When persons marry young the twain
are likely TO grow into one flesh, When
they marry late and there is a great dIt-
ference in age. the twain are likely to re-
main two.
There is another difference. Mr.. Cleve-
land has always been conviv!ai man.
President Mckinley never has been. In
order TO bear himself In an exemplary
way in his high place President McKin-
ley has nothing 10 unlsaru. no trouble
some habits 20 lay aside.
The country has loaf nothing in the
kind Of man that has gone into the white
house.

LOUISIANA pROTEc11ONIsTs
UnuSunI Action by the Representatives Of
That State.

That state.
General Adolph Meyer, member Of
Congress from New Orleans, made
protective tariff speech In the house a
few days ago. which the New Orleans
Picayune prints with approval. Meyer
and two other representatives from
Louisiana voted for the Dingley bill. Il
is the interest OF Louisiana IN develop
ment OF her special industries that
prompts this unusual action on the i'art
Of three OF her Democratic representa-
tIves, and OF her leading newspaper.
The PlcByune makes this comment;
The duty on sugar, while II will yield
large revenue, will also afford fair In
cldental protection to the American SUI
gar producers who are chiefly In Louis
lana. incidental or not. here Is pro-
lection for Louisiana, and General Mey-
er admits that II Is with poor grace
that Louisiana shall ask the other
states OF the Union to give her pro-
lection while she refuses to assist other
states which have large interests 20
protect. II Is In this spirit that the
Louisiana congressman VIII help Ohio
and other northern states in the wool
schedule, and will vote for such other
protection as the bill may carry.
This Is the position Of many other
southern Democrats. From free traders
they have come to be full-hedged pro-
tectionlsts, which IL another conhEmH-
,loh OF the fact tina: all the parties are
rapidly shifting ground on questions or
policy Now that the southern people
are large producers of articles for
which they need protection. and are
rapidly abandoning the distinctive de-
mands Of states rights, there will re-
main only the race question to keep the
southern people united, Eliminate the
negro from politics as portentous fac
tor. and the solid south Will break up
But General Meyer il doing all 10 his
power to secure protection for the SUI

interests Of his state, and. should no
succeed. his constituents viii excuse
him for any alleged abandonment OF
time-honored party lines.

Il is written that "for ways that are
dark and for tricks that are vain. the
henthcn chlnec is peculiar" Having
this In mind the treasury officials are
deeply interested in the coming Of about
1000 Chinese osienslbly to work on the
Chinese exhibits at the Nashville Cen
teunial Exposition.
Under the act Of Congress excluded
laborers may come in for this purpose.
but here is the rub, Under the same
cover a lot ot Chinese came in to work on
the Worlds Fair exhibits from their
country. and the performance was re-
peated at the time OF the Atlanta Expo
sltion.
The laborers were bonded for return.
but most Of them never did go back to
the Flowery Kingdom. They came to
this country with the intention OF re-
maIning here, and that is what they did.
To the Caucaslon eye one chInaman Is so
much like another that the whole Chinese
empire seems To be an aggravated case
OF twins.
There can be no possible need OF 1000
Chinese to set In order the Chinese exhIb-
its at Nashville. and the effort to bring
them in can be nothing else than a trick
thar Is vain. The treasury officials
should not hesitate long,
They should admit reasonable num-

the other side OF the Pacific it will be easy
to turn them over TO theIr neighbours the

1t is noted with pleasure that in the
train of twenty seven cars OF Good
Luck. Baking Powder shipped from
Richmond by The Southern Manufac-
turing Co.. Wilmington was well repre-
scented. On the Good luck Roll Of
Honor Wilmington jobbers are en-
tered as purchasers as follows: Messrs.
Messrs. Worth & Worth, M car load:
Messrs. Holmes & Waters, one car
load These large purchases are
strong evidence that these enterprising
wholesale grocery houses are getting
their share Of the business in competi-
ton with other markets. 1t is quite
evident hat no firm could buy a car
load of baking powder at n time IN
less they had an assured access to a
large channel of distribution. While
these large purchases speak effectively
as to the selling capacities OF these
firms, this colossal train load sale en-
phasizes forcibly the popularity OF the
Good Luck" brand. 1t is a matter of
qualification to see this one Of the
many evidences OF the progressive
| spirit of our Wilmington jobbers.
The affable an enterprising brokers.
Messrs. w. A. Whitehead & Son, are
Good Luck's' representatives in this
market. These gentlemen have the en-
tire confidence of the trade and have
rendered valuable services in establish
| ing thoroughly the Good Luck brand

| bination of affability, straight forward
ness and ability, they have proven
themselves of great value to their cor
respondents.
