But, unhappily, recent events have only too clearly shown that, the greater the prize within reach of the active and honestly-enterprising, the greater the amount of fraud of which the mercantile world are made the victims, and the greater the number of those who, possessing activity and enterprise in superabundance, resort to the most dishonest means to crown their endeavours.
