ncnce Hustaeks In Chicago.
H'w That we are within few DAYS Of tic
o.':n'nss oi navigation, it is well to surrey
cist'''ils Tic prospects before us, iu order TINT
we "ay J." properly prepared for the new or
der td events, upon which wc are about to
"l'e:. For nearly two years past business
hrs been 1T Il stand and efforts seemed mainly
10 5c directed to tile work Of preservation ra-
t'!c: tllan Of progress. Merchants and manu-
tac1n.er* carefully curtuile1 their operations to
1l'c ll:.rrowcs, possible limits. Thousands of
mere :layenllrers without cs.l,ital and without
character, lavc 1een driven into obst.urity,
and business, it is believed, is now mainly in
the LANDS of prudent capable men, who 1laye
'''':.' the capital aud the capacity 10 conduct it
Successfully.
The East first felt tic rcv,lsion in ill its dis
:'stro:'s consequences, and as might have been
expected, it WAS first to recover its wonted
prosperity The failure Of the crops last sum
liner las proved Il sad misfortune to tic West,
and dclared ,lse entire restoration Of active
business till it can I've known whether our rich
l'ra'fl'* will again reward the labors Of the
lnss'rn',las Prospects thus far arc Eayora~
hlc, and with 4 good crop and the rigid ccono-
my that has Iecn practiccd l,y our people, a
1tw,mon'hs more will rnt the West in Il most
prosperous position. The "l,ard times" have
crashed "nt the spirit Of speculation and busi-
1scss. it is believed, now rests upon i subst:n-
tili lrls;s.
The rcvulsion las, it is true, stripped many
a worthy man Of the proceeds Of years of
imllrst toil; hut its influence in checking the
fl';rlt II speculation and extravaganza has
's>, must salutary. People have learned 10
2't1s only wllat they can afford to have, and
':lla1 they have the means 10 pay for.
We are :lbnut tn enter upon new era If
progress. and the Vest never offered more
:n::::;.le licld to honest enterprise. Our rail-
WAYS are completed to the Mississippi, aud
INT YER the farmer las TO sell is within few
miles 1T most Of d casll market. Improved
farms s:sn he purchased at reasonable rates,
:::i millions Of acres Of the richest prairie lands
lie waiting the HIND Of tile ll,lslandman These
]aa':S. can NOW lie purchased at Il lower figure,
i;Ia t|;ry will ever again reach in the history
fife world. There will never again, there

T" tic business MIL, ol1r city offers most
i's.l': field of czcrtion. The low prices If
l,'hr :l'ld materials for the past few months
l:sv; induced our property owners to continue
1"li!l;ng, and for years past there has not ,ccn
50 favorable time to commence any kind Of
lH'>H'c:s. Rents arc comparatively low, and
:.*Jl tenants are in dclnaild Two or three
Years :tt" i. was almost impossible to find a.
s;"rt' nr Dwelling ut any thing like i reasonable
1"Ht. F.r business streets were crowded to
tstc!r nt'n''> capacity, and competition carried
Tents up to almost fabulous prices. This state
Il: things prompted Ill i,n1neusc amount of
}n1'l'.li., which ow:lcrs were obliged to finish
<l<;,le lie hard times through. wllcl, We
