Mr. Green in a note to the Editor, says: "You uphold the integrity of many men in the trade whose statements you state can be relied upon, though they are pecuniarily interested. It is a direct insult to intimate that, as a rule, men should be mistrusted when thus speaking or writing. Indeed, so far has public opinion been influenced by editors and others who attempt to bolster their own reputation by running down the opinions of men in trade, many are so sensitive they will not speak or write of affairs liable to be thus criticised. Trade journals are mentioned with a sneer, yet are not Harper's and Lippincott's publications trade journals? Should their utterances receive less weight on this account? No,'A man's a man for a' that,' and should pass for actual worth on all occasions".
