10 the People of the United States:
We need instant and plentiful aid. From
10000 to 1900 people at least, In The
State Of Michigan have lost their homes
clothing, crops, horses and cattle. On thI
night OF the Chicago fire 1900 people OIL
the east shore Of Lake Michigan, anG
5000 or 5000 on the west shore of Lake
Huron, were reduced to almost absolute
destitution. Within two or three weeks
other and smaller villages and settle,
ments have been blotted out. The number
of individuals, farm houses, barns and from,
tier dwellings which have been destroyed
by the all pervading fire cannot, from
want oil information, be accurately CalCu.

enormous. The fires are still burning
and new ones springing up, The area ol
the ruin and devastation is daily increas.
ing. The intensity and dramatic mag.
nihcence OF the Calamities which have
overwhelmed other cities and villages
are lacking here, but the suffering exists.
A long, hard, cold winter Is approaching,
and large numbers Of these people are
accessible only by water, and navigation
will soon be closed. Scarcely a month
or six weeks remains in which to feed,
clothe and shelter them for the winter,
which extends far into hespring months
They must be helped now or
they will perish. They will need
too, In the early spring, seed and imple.
ments for their harVests Of next year.
The greater portion of them must com.
menCe lie entirely anew, without prepa.
ration, and at the beginning Of winter,
Their isolation from the centre of com.
merCe and the means OF communication
makes the problem Of the relief of the
more difficult and all the more urgent.
The people of Michigan have nobly re.
Bponded to the appeals which this mes.
sage has made to their sympathy and
generality, but they are severely crippled
Indirectly In their business by the Chicago
fire, and directly by assisting the suffer.
ers from that calamity before they were
aware Of the demands which would be
made upon them at home. Many Of
them, too, have lost their resources by
the fires which have occurred In this
State. In their name, and In behalf Of
the victims already known, and of many
we fear are yet unknown, weask prompt
and efficient aid from our benevolent iel.
