CONCLUSION.

N conclusion I wish to ask public indulgence on account of omissions.

There are many brilliant financiers and skillful operators of the younger generation in Wall street who have thus far shown that they are probably destined to a prosperous, and in some instances, an illustrious career.

Again, there are others of various ages and long experi ence, whose achievements have been of a quiet, unostentatious character and whose business lives and operations have been conducted with great reserve, yet with marked

success.

Although these two classes have not yet done much to make their existence conspicuous in the public eye, while some of them, through excess of modesty, perhaps, have even shunned publicity, yet their lives have been replete with noteworthy events and the acquisition of very useful knowledge which, if preserved and recorded, would be highly interesting in the present, and probably not unworthy of being transmitted to the future.

I have a considerable number of these clever and worthy gentlemen in "the volume of my brain," for whom I have no space in this book, as it has already exceeded the dimensions which I had originally designed, but in an additional volume I intend that they shall be duly remembered according to the best of my humble ability and my oppor tunities of forming a just estimate of their deserts.

If any man understands fully Wall Street and its Point of View, that man is Henry Clews the veteran banker, whose sensible sayings about business have been famous for years.

This book is a lively discussion of the business interests and the politics of the country, all from the point of view of the men who make Wall Street the real business center of the United States.

The four parts of the book show its unique scope: Wall Street Itself. Wall Street and the Government. Wall Street and Social Problems. Wall Street and International Affairs. No other book covers that ground.

Wall Street itself receives a portrayal astonishing to nearly everybody. Speculation plays but a trifling part compared with the enormous amount of the legitimate business of the country which centers there. Wall Street is the hub of American business, and the farmer needs it as much as his plough.

The maxims of modern success in business are crisply told. How to get rich and yet be honest is the subject of one of the brightest chapters. The chances of young men to make fortunes are set forth.

All the business problems which government has to solve are discussed. The Trusts, the Tariff, the Banks, Silver, Expansion-these each have specific attention from the clear-headed business man's point of view.

What all the Administrations have done to business, from 1884 to 1900, is reviewed in detail, with racy style, and with profound good sense. Mr. Clews discusses all the problems that business men talk about every day, and he gives his views directly, definitely and picturesquely. Whether you agree with him or not, you cannot afford to pass by his book. It is a searchlight on business in its present day relations.

Busy business men as well as women who care for business will take the time to read the book. Ask your bookseller for it. Price, $1.50.

WHAT WALL STREET THINKS.

Persons who imagine that the history of Wall Street is solely chronicled in the financial columns of the daily press make a very serious mistake. Regarded as an institution, Wall Street creates and executes schemes of gigantic proportions which in their ultimate development hardly bear a single tag of the money market. Wall Street, too, has opinions on all great national and international questions, opinions that are neither political, diplomatic, sociological, nor even economic, but which combine all four elements in an ideal proportion. Thus it is that no one who desires to have a broad and thoroughly comprehensive idea of the great questions of recent days can afford to ignore the opinion of Wall Street What this opinion is Mr. Henry Clews has told in an interesting manner in his book, "The Wall Street Point of View.”

There is hardly any other publication with which this volume can be compared. An analogy might be offered if the corps diplomatique of the world should issue a review of political events from a point of view essentially diplomatic. But Mr. Clews does not merely relate what Wall Street thought about great political or diplomatic events-Mr. Cleveland's tariff message, the Wilson or Dingly tariff, gold vs. silver, the Venezuelan question, legislation against trusts, and events showing the relations between labor and capital, between the employee and the employer-but he discuses in its rudimentary form the question of finance in a way that cannot but be of profit and aid to the most humble citizen and father of a family. The chapter on "The Art of Making and Saving Money" and "Business Education" are just as interesting as the pages on great world topics, and to some they are far more important. There is not a dull line in the book; even the figures are eloquent.

WALL STREET'S FASCINATIONS.

Wall Street is one of the most fascinating points of interest in America's business domain. Its commanding position in the world of finance invests it with an importance not only of domestic concern, but it is also a brilliant centre towards which Europe's eyes are eagerly turned; for that reason there is always a ready appetite to learn about its mysteries. Every attractive description of its operations is usually read with great popular relish, and the public is always on the alert to devour every book pertaining to its workings which is really worth reading. Perhaps the one which has enjoyed the best of early and well deserved successes is "The Wall Street Point of View," by Mr. Henry Clews. The author's name of itself is one of its chief recommendations of excellence. Mr. Clews is a veteran banker, and his lifework amid Wall Street's dramatic vicissitudes has more than equipped him for the task he has assayed. Nobody is surprised, therefore, to note that the press universally pronounces his book a splendid

success.
