is floated, Consols will immediately go to par, and will be converted
into a security bearing ten per cent. interest--and this without
a single penny being added to the tax-payers' burdens. I have been

that my readers may offer. Now, therefore, is your time. Next week I
may have to take a short holiday, owing to the strain on my nerves,
caused by my numerous anxieties. But the good work will go on as
before.

any given moment a score of men in the City of London, who
could carry out the work with perfect ease.--_Daily Paper,
November 19, 1891_.]
SCENE--_The Army Universal Provision Company Limited (Managing
Director, Mr. BLACKLEY). Enter Recruit in Department No.
