PECULIAR SECRETS OF CHICAGo's
SUCCESS.
The secret of the prosperity Of the
Garden City, as Chicago is called, have
been the peculiarities of individual enter
prise, energy and industry. Many Of
her prominent men beginning here on q
small capital, have exerted themselves
like men who feel that they have been
thrown upon their own resources, with
the eyes of the whole community upon
them, having set their stakes they must
and will succeed to save their honor and
build up their fame. Each man here does
not stop to inquire what others have done
but what it is possible for him, individu-
ally, to do, believeipg that call things are
possible to him who wills" The foremost
minds of Chicago, have determined to
excel in every department of trade, and
build up one if not the greatest CONNER
oial city on this continent. The foodtide
of prosperity seems now upon them, and
their hopes seem to be about TO meet with
a full realization. Individual energy and
enterprise have marked the public works
of this city more than that of any other
on the continent, and some individual
mind seems to form the main spring of
each enterprise, which seems to draw
around him the aid of enterprising ascot
ates who lend a willing hand. This is
the secret of their wonderful success and
a popularity that makes it. No rivalries
or Jealousy exist and if one individual
a feasible public project all rally
around him as one man, md it is curried
forward with united effort to a successful
and the many opinions that
come in conflict in the East and ruin al
most every public enterprise put on foot,
and if they do not ruin it,they retard and
block up its forward movement, and near
ly half our towns are kept in a condition
OF inertnes9, that oftentimes proves death
to its business, and we may fear that
Rutland's business and prosperity may
and go to pieces upon the rock of
90 many individual opinions ard division
If sentiment.
Not 80 here. A good enterprise, one
hat will rebound TO the progress of the
own, the prosperity of the people,
whether it be the building of public
chool building in ii remote corner Of the
ity, or the erection Of city bail for the
communication Of the n s5es, or puts a
nnnel under the Chicago River, whether
cost $4,000, or a half million, all
axe hold with will and pub it to com
letion. Many ainHll,r town in the
Eastern States would to-day he three fold
n business and four fold in popul .tioD,
ID the same liberal iIeas, nnior of cen
i'm ehts, and enterprise mark its ccunsels,
yithout the selfshness of individuals for a {
