MODERN FINANCE.
Outside of Wall Street and in It.

I.
Jasper. In Leslies Weekly.
A man was arrested in New York re-
Gently for selling little machine with
which. apparently. blank pieces of paper
could be readily converted into IS bills
simply by turning a crank and running
the blank sheets through two rollers. The
thing worked all right long as II was
In the hands of the seller. but when Tie
purchaser took it home and found that the
paper that he put In between the rollers
went in as II came out 1t proved Itself
palpable swindie. and the judge before
whom the case was brought into court
smiled when he decided. He smiled that
any man should be utterly credulous as
to believe that he could buy for few
hundred dollars machine widch would
print, rapidly one could want them,
bank notes as good as any bank issues; ard
my readers, no doubt, will smile when they
read this brief report Of a true incident in
the recent court annals of New York city.
But the credulity of the unfortunate VIC
tim of this bunco game Is not greater than
that Of the general public. L need only
call attention to the enormous sums OF
money sunk by the public in all kinds of
wildcat schemes from year to year. 1t
seems only necessary for swindlers to have
sufficient ingenuity to tell a smooth false
hood and to promise prodigtous profits on
small investments to make the suckers
bite Recently a man in st. Louis succeed
ed in coaxing out of the public between
81 O0o, 600 and 81 eOO. 900 on a combined bank
ing and publishing scheme, which was SO

interfered and stopped his mail. Scarcely
a day passes but that the post Office 1u-
thorities find similar work TO do. Some or
these swndles run on for long time
the Storey Cotton Company, for instance,
When the money begins to pour In the
swindlers use a part OF IL TO pay Dig
profits to some of tnose who are in, and
thus stimulate new business. They did this
so successfully in the Storey Cotton COM
pany that the concern ran on for num-
Der Of years.
/ had repeated inquiries from readers who
asked how 1t was possible for the Storey
Cotton Company TO pay from 80 TO 100 per
cent interest on deposits Again and again
replied that IL there were such profits Tor
outsiders that the Storey managers could
make they would make II themselves. and
that some day the smash-up would come.
And it did come. and the loss to the cred
itors of the Storey company ran up Into the
millions. This Is dfsreputable sort or
business but only disreputable. 1t seems.
IL 1t is done outside of the exchanges. In
the stock market receptions can be prac-
ticed, the public can be misled by utterly
false statements, and bonds and stocks
can be foated in prodgious quantities IT
extravagant prices on prospectuses full or
lies, and the men who amass immense for
tunes by these reprehensible methods. act
ing under the advice of lawyers who are
as INSCRIPTIONS as they are adroit, can
manage skillfully to keep out of jail

Meanwhile Punishment comes on no
limping foot The census people tell the
first but dreadful chapters of the taie OF
woe. In twenty years the percentage OF
woman workers in Massachusetts has
grown from 23.2 in 1880 to 81 In lSoV'
while the percentage Of man workers mas
actually decreased.
All but Massachusetts is essentially
female commonwealth. Look elsewhere,
then and see what crumbs of comfort you
can nick up In Pennsylvania IN these
same twenty years the percentage or wo-
man workers has increased from 13.5 to IL.
while that of man workers has increased
by only beggarly 81. In Ohio the femi-
nine increase is nearly 6 per cent. In all
the United States the feminine increase has
been from 14.7 to 1873; the masculine from
1871 to 80. Meanwhile, the number of
women employed in domestic service Is
lessening steadily.
These figures are signposts on mans
downward road to helplessness and ex-
tinction. He is becoming the weaker ves-
sci. He is destined to be broken. The
other sex is growing taller. stronger, more
capable The inferior must disappear, the
victim of relentless economic struggle.
