he NEW CHICAGO AND IT'S GREATER
EnTnPE

The style in which Chicago Is rebuilding will
$780, Al effect to enlarge, expand, and elevate
le future business Of the city at large rela-
ely to that Of all it's rivals in degree which
an even OF those who hare carried out 30 nob1y
be work Of restoration hare begun to calcu-
=. Every owner in rebuilding has sought his
n true interests in putting up q building that
7ould be more attractive to tenants than those
# his neighbor. But, in go doing,
he aggregate owners OF Chicago have
ucceeded in iuparting to the rebuilt
business section Of the city . marvellous eleva-
ion Of tone and variety and be.uty Of style
Ehich promise to render Chicago the most at
:7active business city in the world Unquestion-
1bly there is world Of success and wealth for
as we'll as for churches and Individuals in
Tint combination Of conyeniences and attractions
which ne express by the single word style. It is
practically everything. It makes the difference
between the imposing beauty Of the wcrship
OF the cathedral and the incoherent rant OF the
: -'-pEeacher. It constitutes the difference
between the gentleman and the gavk, between
lie magnetic man and the bore. It is the open
Eesame to society, and the avenue to the highest
SUCCESS. No class Of men understand its
Importance SO fully as our frEt-class mer-
chants. bankers, real estate dealers, law
gers, publishers, commission men, UNDER
writer's, and business men generally. Mer-
chants in stylish buildings sell twice
'Hs many goods IS the Same merchants having
the same stock ii W-ighted, il-yentilated, or
penurious looking apartments could sell.
Bankers in good quarters receive larger de-
posts. Real estate dealers are no longer taken
for shysters when their Offices correspond With
the dignity aud profits of their trade. Lawyers,
publishers, insurance, and Board Of Trade men
all feel the inspiration there iB in black
walnut desks, high ceilings, heavy panel
work, and tile floors. Each Of
1s has felt that his own particular business
would be facilitated By bringing it into stylish
building or locality. But the prosperity Of
city at large is made up Of the aggregate Of
these particular properties, The city at large

business Of every kind in exactly the pro-
portion that each business man in it finds his
facilities for doing business increased.
If there has heretofore been any advantage in
favor Of Chicago, in her competitions Tith other
Western cities, owing to her. location and faci1i
ties for transportation, to that must soon be
added the higher attraction OF being the best
built city OF her population in tho world. It is
impossible, and would be inEidious, to select
particular blocks, where nearly all attain the
same high standard, and the sole differences re-
suit from the necessary difference in the designs
Of various architects. Probably two-thirds, per-
haps three-fourths Of the business section Of the
Burnt District has rebuilt OF begun to rebuild.
Yet it is ssfe to say that the portion already
built and begun wi1l, when complete, have more
room and afford far greater facilities for business
than the whole did before the fire. When our
leading hotels are complete, the Pacific will sur
pass the Fifth Avenue, the Palmer will surpass
the Continental Of Pni1adelphia, and the Sherman
will exceed its former SELF. Visitors to our city
and merchants coming here to trade will expert
ence pleasure in doing business here which
they could never have done before. and
which will diminish every year the number Of
those who will so eastward Of Chicago. Already
we hear that number Of the frms burnt ont
in Boston are intending to transfer their busi-
accommodations we can now offer them are
equal to those Of Boston, New York, OF PhilA-
delphia, will have no small influence over
their choice. Chicago has laid the foun-
dation for q broader and eecurer business
prosperity in the future than she has
ever heretofore known. Architectural solidity
and stability invite to city the financial strength
which they express. Chicago has built boldly,
and We believe the result will Ibe soon apparent
that she will certainly sell d far larger percent
age Of goods annually, and to transfer and ex-
port far greater proportion Of the produce OF
the West and Northwest, than It her policy in
rebuilding had aimed only to restore city equal
to that We had before.
Let our Legislators and business men nov
move forward to the great work OF making Chi
cago port Of direct communication with En-
rope, by converting the Welland and st. Law.
renee Canals into ship canals, through which
vessels Of 1000 to 1,2o0 tons can pass without
breaking bulk or transfer Of cargo. The entire
Northwest is more vitality interested in thit
measure than even in the Union Pacific Railroad
and its cost Will be but tenth at
much. II members Of Congress were
eelected, Is they should be- With reference to ths
benefit they can be to their constituents, nj
member Of Congress rest Of 0swego OF north o.
vicksburg would ever be selected without first
giving in bis adhesion to the policy OF convert
ing our lakes into q Mediterranean Sea 1o'
ocean vessels, and making every port On them al
pecan port. The cost Of the work would be bu'
one-eighth Of what Was burned up IN thf
Rostnn fire, OF, Say, twelve millions Of dollars
