How S,indlerS Use the Mails

II is A very old theory that the pub

glass beads TO the Indians IN exchange
for valuable furs. The Indians seemed
to like IT. The ordinary methods OF
sending information about his schemes
from place to place by word OF mouth,

slow for 1he American confidence man.
and long before the seventies ne was
working the mails for all they were
worth in pushing his ideas. There was
no law against il, because such con
tjngency had not been foreseen. and
soon there appeared III papers and IN
circulars sent through the mails most
astounding offers by which the ambiti-
Gus might amass fortune by the eX-
penditure of only few cents,
Lotteries made use Of the mails for
sending ont their circulars and for gath

With queer rhetorical combinations.
Bond investments, banking schemes,

some firm in Boston. Many people
have grown wise through Uncle Sam S
intervention in schemes of this kind,
and they who drank cheap-brew
coffee, believing it TO be from the great
plantations In which they had an ln-
terest, learned that labels are easy TO
buy and certain grades of coffee easy
to repack when no coffee exists on the
wilderness they helped to buy. Stock
and bond purchasers are easy to
find, if the tales that disappointed IN
vcstors write are true, and the Gov
ernment hears many of these.
1t took the endless chain enterprise
to fully awaken Uncle Sam S ire.
Churches were built that way, clothes
sold, houses furnished, WINE cellars

chain remained unbroken. IT,, too, was

the time Uncle Sam had done a little
figuring he decided it was TOO hard a
proposition for his children. By the
time the sixteenth series of people had
bought their tickets, and had per
suaded three times their number to
