BRAINS IN BUSINESS.
The 0ae Great secret Of saeces- IN Com
mercial Life.


merctaI Life.
One great secret Of success in busi-
ness-the secret. In fact. OF success on
a large scale-is to conceive OF it as
matter OF principle. not merely as
series OF transactions. There are great
merchants as there are great states
men, and there are small merchants as
there are small politicians; and the
difference between the great aud the
small man Is very much the same il
both professions. The small politician
works by the day. and sees only the
one small opportunity before him; the
small merchant does the same thing
he is looking for the next dollar. The
statesman. on the other hand, Is master
OF the situation because he understands
the general principles which control
events; this knowledge enables him to
deal with large questions and TO shape
the future. The great merchantdoes the
same thing; his business is not mere
money getting affair, not mere matter
OF barter, but a science and an art; he
studies the general laws OF trade,
watches the general condition of the
country, investigates present needs.
foresees future wants. and adapts his
business to the broad conditions OF mis-
time and place. He puts as much
brains into his work as does the states
man. and he ends by being. not a
money-getter. but large-minded and
capable man. An ehiinently successful
business man, OF the statesmanlike
quality. said the other day that the
more he understood of life. the more
clearly he saw that il was all done on
business principles. BY which no
meant. not that the universe stands for
the dollar. shat the universe is governed
by unyarying laws; that promptness.
exactness, thoroughness. and honesty
are wrought into its very fiber. On
these business principles all life Is con-
dncted-- not by men, at least by that
Power which is behind man. Ii ought
10 be the ambition of every young man
to treat his business from the point Of
view OF the statesman and not from that
of the politician. Union.
