.rowp up as the objective point Of the /
domestic trade Of the United States. I
Boston, without having factory within {
her limits, successfully maintains her place
IS the distributing point for the bulk Of {
The manufactures Of New England. These
factories have, it is true, branch houses and
agencies in New Yoik, but they have the
same in Chicago. In fact there is hardly |
any branch Of domestic commerce in which
Chicago is not already upon the same foot
ing with New York, and in many respects
is much better situated The country has
become greatly extended, in a productive
md commercial sense, during the last
fifteen years, and as result Of
this, rs direct necessity this city
has grown up here in the geographical cen
tie Of production and transportation to be
TINT grand depot for the internal commerce
Of the country which New York is for for
ciga commerce. The cotton, woollen, glass,
aud other manufactures Of New England
have agencies in New York, as they have in
Chicago; the iron manufacturers and coal
miners OF Pennsylvania do their main busi~
ness in New York and Chicago; the mines
Of Lake Superior and Missouri, and Of Wis
consin and Iowa, find 1t annaal-
| " becoming more and more
essential to do business in Chicago as well
| Ms in New York. The increase in the bank
! ine capital of the country is tending to this
as well as to the Atlantic centre Of COM
merce. Manufactures of al1 kinds, ssls-
tuined by capital and additionally protected
by thousand miles OF transportation, ara
annually accrlmulating all over the West,
md nll pointing to Chicago rs their depot
from which they are to be sold
md distributed to all parts Of
| the country. The circle Of country
whose increasing products are to centre
here md hence to be distributed, is
rapidly extending and is as rap
idly filing with active, prosperous and pro-
ducing millions Of people. Each day the
circle hitherto supplied from New York is
becoming more contracted, and soon the
whole Western slope Of the Alleghanies
will pour its products intothe Imp of Chicago
Us naturally as do now the p1airies Of Iowa
and Wisconsin.
| These facts are seH-evident, and
are as readily perceived by the men Of
New York as by ourselves. Though
the New Yorkers do not talk rs loudly as
the Jealous men of Cincinnati once did re-
| spectiuR the growing METROPOLITAN charac-
ter Of Chicago, they seem called upon,
whenever Chicago is mentioned, to deny
| That il can ever rival New York, and this
denial thew are always ready to enforce
