Who Wrote this letter.

TO nc LdIIof OF Tie sun.
SIR; think many Of your correspondents, in
their reflections upon A. T. Stewart ana ms manner
Of doing business, Influenced more by their pre-
judices than their Judgment. As business man,
Mr.. Stewards example has always been quoted as
one desirable to be followed by those oil our youth
who would secure honor aud success In mercantile
life. The discipline OF house OF such gigantic bust
rcss proportions must necessarily DO strict espe-
ciilly IN It's retail departments; and cannot con-
ceivo how employee, VINO certainly has oppOrtuni-
ties OF knowing tue advantages OF vacation in tho
warm season with salary continued-as has always
been the case when absent in sickness also-can
take exception to the enactment or enforcement OF
rules without the existence OF which trivial neg
lect OF business would perhaps curry with II an
ment REASON.
