I need not say that he abhorred from the bottom of 16 his soul sharp practices of every sort that he was never content to fulfill his word or bond merely to the letter if he could by any means evade its spirit. There are eminent men ot business who say of their associates that every man is to be presumed a knave, therejby confessing that this is true of them- selves. There are also lookers-on who sometimes conclude that the artifices of modern exchange and the enormous opportunities of capital ...are such that what men call honor and high-toned sentiment must soon be forever dismissed from the transactions of traffic and the lawful competitions of enterprise and exchange must end in violence arid robbery. To Mr. Sheffield such utterances were simply blas- phemy against his guild and against his manhood. He was not honorable simply from the traditions ol his guild, but he was honorable from the convic- tions of his conscience and the sentiments of his heart. Thus far have we followed Mr. Sheffield in the transactions of business and the accumulation of wealth.
