The CENTRE OF WEALTH AND TRADE
MOVING TO THE WEsr.-"The Boston news
nowadays is largely made up OF the failures
or Boston firms, and that prudence aud SOL
vency which were once held TO be the distin-
guished marks OF the solid men OF Boston
seem 10 have become a mere tradition"
such 10 the remark OF the Globe-D Democrat
Whlch thereupon proceeds 10 say: "a pro-
bable explanation OF the nuperous failures
In The East is that the merchants there have
oeen struggling against the inevitable, and
nave gone down In the unavailing effort Co
retain a trade which had passed away In the
changes OF the times and OF the methods Of
doing business. The centre OF wealth and of
trade is moving West faster than the centre of
population Western nrms and enterprises
Low command such resources and control
such market that they are not only free
rom dependence on Eastern monetary in
terests, but carry on competition with the
last, with all the advantage on their side
IN iact, with the exception of the great spin
ming industries, IL would be hard 20 name a
branch OF trade which the West has not al
ready partially wrested from the East. In
the matter OF importations our Western
houses are compelled 10 keep such a stock
as Justines them I'm being their own import
ers, aud thus they have cut or one Valuable
department OF trade from the Eastern deal
ers. In domestic manufactures our position
Is even better. Hats aud caps, boots and
shoes and clothing are no longer manufac-
tured exclusively In the East, nor 10 our Rro-
ceries and family supplies travel Eastward
