title to enduring fame must rest upon
his service, his pre-eminent service,
in the causes of liberty and the
Union. 1t is not enough to say that
in his Office as President the oppor-
tunity came to him to save the Union
and to emancipate millions from
slavery. Another man as President
might have done as much; but Mr..
Lincoln so conducted affairs during
the period of war that no stain rests

Hon. Thomas l.. James, eX-Post-

forth upon the world, as we of to-day
realize, with almost Shakespeare
eyes; and it was, perhaps, that great

to fathom the human heart, to under

FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW

R. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review

"Some irregudarilty continues in

fundamental factor of strength is the
seadily multiplying evidence that
stocks are so depleted as TO render
a large and general resumption of

There are numerous reports OF

West and South and distributors Of
merchandise in all lines anticipate
slow but steady return to the normal
volume of transactions.
Uncertainty regarding the ulti-
mate tendency of prices of finished
iron and steel restricts Improvement

of new business is still disappointing,

in demand while in other diversions
business is smaller than during the
latter part of 1908. The railroads
are not entering the markets to any
extent and sales of rails continue un-
important. Current business in
structural material is not large, but
prospects are considered good.
In the dry goods markets traders
are apparently more convinced of the
stability of the situation and are anx-
ious to cover some of the future re-
quirements. There is still some COLI.
servatism but buyers have discovered
that orders are sometimes subjected
to vexatious delays because of ina

souled man was friend, a friend at
court, when friends were most in

to rescue it from the wolves of bru-
tality and rapine whom the history

From a public address by Ralph
Waldo Emerson "Ie is the true
history OF the American people in his
time. Step by step he walked before
them; slow with their slowness,
quickening his march by theirs; the
true representative of the continent;
an entirely public man; father of his
country, the pulse of twenty millions
throbbing in his heart, the thought of
their minds articulated ty his

tion of unprecedented power in our
history; who was the gentlest and
most peace loving of mortals, unable
to see any creature suffer without
pang in his own heart, and suddenly
found himself called to conduct the
greatest and bloodiest of our wars;
and who, in his heart the best friend
of the defeated South, was murdered
because crazy fanatic took him for
its most cruel enemy.
1t is almost needless to rehearse
the events in the life of this illus
trious hero. He was born in what
is now La Rue County, KY, on Feb
ruary IL, 1909, and all readers are
familiar with his early life in that
State and in Indiana and Illinois, his
career as rail splitter, soldier in the
Black Hawk War, as student, store
keeper, postmaster, surveyor, lawyer
and statesman.
AS time passes the character of
Lincoln becomes mellowed and al
most sanctified by the growing gen.
GRAFTON, and it is interesting to record
the estimates placed upon him by as
sociates and those who had been
from time to time brought into per-
sonal contact with the great Ameri-
can. The tributes found below are
from men who had occasion to view
the character of Lincoln from various
standpoints, and it is notable that in
all these separate views of it, there
is nothing that breaks the harmony
of the whole. From every side at
which we are called to look upon his
character we see something noble
He is small nowhere.
A Wonder of History.
Whether it was in the small
things or in the great things with
which he had to DEAL" said the Hon.
Henry l.. Dawes, former United
States Senator from Massachusetts,
"he was equally matchless. And all
this was born in him. Neither edu-
cation nor experience nor example
had anything to do with the produc-
tion of this great central, controlling
@oaSO III IhC 6lSdtSSl Vi dll llc crises
that ever came upon the nation. He
grew wiser and broader and stronger
as difficulties thickened and perils
multiplied, till the end found him
the wonder in our history"
From His Law Associate.
From Mr.. Herndon, for twenty-five
years Mr.. Lincolns law partner:
"Mr. Lincoln was conscientious, lust.
truthful and honest, and hence
thought that every other person was
Just, truthful and honest; but in this
belief he was often sorely disappoint-
ed. He had an infinite fa'th-trust
in the people, and in their instinct
OF, and mental insight into, the fun
damentals of government. He trust

emergencies to stand forth as man
OF true greatness, which makes the
consideration of him as fresh, invig-
Grating and timely as it was when
those great affairs of which he was
the master were occupying the coun-
try's eye."
General Egbert L. Viele: Mr.. Lin
coin was a man of the highest de-
gree of self-culture, in so far as re-
CARDS knowledge of the most beau
tiful and sublime writings in the
English language. His memory was
Photographic in character. He could
repeat from memory almost any pas
sage after he had read 1t once, and
nothing delighted him SO much as to
sit down of an evening among his i'm
mediate friends and repeat whole
stanzas from Byron or Browning or
the plays of Shakespeare. Most OF
