The idea of the promoters was a good one in the abstract, but the line of
success out of the question; and it was there where our condemnation of the scheme, came in. However, our friend of the Mercy is altogether wrong in drawing any comparison between the proposed "Stock, Share and Debenture Investment Con Ed," and the National Bank of China; these two concerns had absolutely nothing in common-the one was intended HONGKONG, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 18912, asa Trust Company, although in
