You must not look at the acts. but at

this, I think, is certain, that il ever the

that youth had departed, when growing
years had chastened and corrected fault,
how much more conservative and how
little offensive to any one his words and
his deeds became? When he escaped
the glory of felon's death, this became
his country by adoption, And here his
career was open to us all. We were
near, and we saw every part OF it. The
main part is surely embraced in his pub
lication, the Boston Pilot. Now, here
once more, am not going to subscribe
to every utterance of his in the Boston
Pilot. Nevertheless this is remarkable
and perfectly true, you will oil acknow-

our opin ions and made, as we think, a
mistake, there was still underlying that
mistake a devotion to human freedom, a
kind ness, a courtesy, spirit Of forgive
ness and of reconciliation. He was a

who loved him. First of all, to his i'm

He was made a cardinal In 1879. His

the hatred and condemnation Of those

him many personal friends. The feel

was assailed repeatedly and charged
with being traitor. Il was q reply to

given as the final and absolute reply to

WHOLESALE TRADE.

A review of the Wholesale trade of
Wheeling presents picture Of sound PROF.
perity and te,lthy business conditions,
which will be highly gratifying to every
person interested in the city'e financial
growth. At no time since Wheeling be-
gan to assume position Of importance in
the commercial world, has the outlook for
the future OF this trade been brighter. At
the close of an unusually successful year,
wholesale dealera in oil lines are confront
ed with a prospect for another season of
unexsmpled prosperity. The section
which they supply Wit goods is growiDg;its
material wealth is being developed, new
industry and new life ere being infused
into it, and the result will be larger de-
mand for every article OF trade. This the
Wheeling wholesalers can reasonably hope
to furnish. Ia addition, enterprises now
under way will open up new territory aud
create new trade fer our merchants.

TO state one good indication. In former
years there were number Of stogie makers
unemployed, who could always be bad
when the necessity arose, bot this
year we were compelled to in
crease our force with men out Of The
city, quite a number having come from
Pittsburg. An attempt was made by
provincial manufacturers and those who
turned out machine made goods to run us
out by selling their goods as much as y
per Thousand cheaper. By misrepresen-
tation they succeeded for awhile, but the
finest handmade goods in the land have
triumphed, and they are going mp every
day. Wheeling holds the palm in this line.

Business has improved the past year, the
output of cigars being much larger than
in 'SS. Tee demand is increasing right
along and the outlook is good.
HUGO LOos.
Our business is away ahead of 'SS. In
fact we turned out about one third more
cigars this year than last, and we enter
the new year with not a box of stogies in
the house. outside of our immedists de-
mands. Every stoeie made up to 3 O'Clock

have lots OF orders ahead.

merchants buy more freely. Oar owo
trade has increased very largely, at least
ten per cent. over last year. There has
bee q decrease in the demand for sugar,
due to small fruit crops, bat teas, coffees,
and general groceries are in heavy demand.
We find collections very good. Barring
accident, we will do a larger business than
ever before next year.
SIMON BAER's SONS.
Our trade has increased largely during
the year. 1t has been at least Is per cent.
greater than in 1888. The coffee trade has
been particularly heavy, increasing nearly
so per cent City collections are easier than
for years, and country collections would be
good if the roads were not so bad. We are
highly encouraged at the outlook, ard are
making preparations for the largest trade,
we have ever habdl d, in 1890. The pu-
merous improvements under way in
Wheeling and vicinity justify the hope
that business of all kinds will be largely
increased, and we desire to take advantage
of the boom when il conner.
A. c. EGERTER.
We are taking stock, and unable to give
exact figures as to our trade, but il is much
greater than ever before. The increase has
been general in all lines of goodS. Business
for the last three months has been espec-
tally good, and reports from all poi ts are
more encouraging than at any time for
years before. Collections, however, are
not az easy as they should be, but losses
from failure have been very light.
wATERHOUsE BROS.
We can only say, for the time that We
have been in business, that trade has been
emjnently satisfactory. The outlook is
especially encouraging. We expect to ex-
tend our trade largely next year, and be-
lieve that all the conditions are highly
favorable.
HUBBARD & PAUL..
Trade has been unusually good during
1889, tut we anticipate an even better
year during 1890. Information FROM sll
points is encouraging. Farmers have had
good crops, and merchants are prepared to
buy freely. Collections are easy-much
better, in fact, than last year. Local trade
is especially good in this particular. We
expect to have very few losses to record
for 1889 There has been strong demand
for all lines of groceries, and the increase
in our sales has been very heavy.

Business was brsk from first to last, bnt
it was especially good in the latter part of
the year. Reports from all over the terri
tory, which our solicitors cover, are highly
encouraging. This section is unusually
prosperous, and the demand for goods will
doubtless bs heavy. The large demand
has brought about rise in the prices Of
most articles in our lines.
JACOB SNYDER
Our trade in iron and wagons has grown
about 12t per cent. since January 'S9.
The importance of this advance will he
seen from the fact, that 'S8 exceeded '67
by about 25 per cent. The trade in iron
has been very heavy during the last three
months. Collections are always slow, but
we have no particular reason to complaiD.
We are making preparations to extend our
trade considerably next year. There are
several fislds which we think can be
worked to an advantage.
r X. GIFFES ( co.
Business Is third better than IL was
one year ago. There has been improve
ment all along the line; our increase, how
ever, has been greatest in harvesters and
reapers. We heve sold 80 per cent. more
of them than we did in 1883 Collections
are good. There is large acreage of

GREER & LAING.
Business was never bstter with us since
we have been in Wheeling. We have
had increased sales in all lines of goods,
particularly in guns of various kinds.
Next year we will make an effort to extend
our trade in West Virginia especially, and
have made preparations for working con-
siderable new territory. Collections, how.
