before equalled IN the Northwest From all
over the country the intelligence reaches vari-
Gus parties here with whom We hare conyersed,
that the attendance from these different sec-
tions promises to be something entirely unpre-
cedented in character and numbers. All over
the Eastern and Middle States the Railroad Com
ranics arc contemplating the adoption Of ercur-
sion rates to Chicago for fares one way and re-
turn free. The&e hare not been definitely nn-
nounccd, but will be thrown open in time to ae-
cure 10 thousands who have nerer seen the
Northwest, the opportunity to attend the q S.
Fair in this city, with margin Of time over, for
an extension Of the trip to other localities Of
interest to the tourist.
Iudeed the railroad men do wisely to meet
liberally and fully half NAY the exigencics Of
the season, which may call ont for the month Of

Now we hare one word for our merchants,
our wholesale and retail dealers, in new Of this
National Fair. The period Of Eve days through
which the main attraction Is to be kept up, will
gise to very large share Of our visitors especi-
ally from the section Of country tributary to
this city IN opportunity for business. We LOOK
indeed for busy week beyond all precedent,
and those of our merchants or their employees
who 'see the Fair at all will do go under the
disadvantage Of by for the greatest pressure
upon them they hare recently experienced.
The month Of September indeed, in which the
Fair week is balanced midway, will be busy
throughout. The occasion is rare one for our
Chicago merchants to show the Northwest,
which will be largely represented here, partly
on business, and the other sections which will
give numerous attendance from curiosity,
tha. Chicago is really the business emporium
she is claimed to be- That she is worthy and
adequate mart for the great and growing section
Of which she is the metropolis.
Let our mercantile community reach our Tisl.
tors then By the very obvious and ready means
of-od1etising. The city press should then bet
ter than ever before represent the real attrac-
tions Of this market md Of our stores, and
prove the directory Of our best houses. Ad-
rettsemcu,s in this coming month Of Septem-
Der will prove Il medium whereby cur mer-
chunts eau reach q vastly wider circle than ever
before, and We do not believe they will let the
