TO the Elitor ef The Chicago Tribune:
CHICAGO. Oct. "A letter under the aboye
heading appeared in your issuo few Sundays
since, which I. presumably with large number
of other Horkingmen, pcrused with interest," but as
I have not seen OF heard any response to the let
ter, and therefore judging that its sabjecs-matter
has not received that notice aud attention it 80
we'll merits, permit me to mako 3 few remarks
upon the subject in the hope TINT they may
stimulate some little inquiry into the subject OF
mutual cooperation generally, but especially as
applied to the acquisition Of "homes for
vprkiucmen." .--.-...--ra.s~' --:,-s~--.
The principle OF Cooperative Land and Build
ing Societies is neither novel nor untried. Their
succeeB from their first formation up to the
present has been 20 strlkiuCly manifested, and
the advantages and benefits derived there
from BY their members, Individually and collect
lively, has been 80 crest, ard marked with such
satisfactory results as to justify their adoption
and rapid extension in every intelligent commu-
nifty On both sides Of the Atlantic. In England,
the first promoters Of these societies we're re-
garded as viHionaEes, and met with but
| scant support in their earliest efforts II
the;r formation but, being conscious OF
The wisdom and eoundHess OF their
views, they perseyered, and speedily convinced
the most skeptical that new era Of prosperity
and happiness for Workingmen WAS inaugurated
for those who we're wise and intelligent enough
to embrace the opportunities such societies af-
forded to improve their social poeition, and place
them upon higher plane Of citizenship than
number OF these societies are now in active op-
Grafton in every part of Great Britain, and SO
much appreciated that there ia not single city
or town, or scarcely village, but what
has its mutual cooperative society, and
tens Of thousands, Of English workingmen Of the
| present day arc their " own landlords " and ab-
solute owners Of their - hearths aud homes ="
who, but for the encouragement aud assistance
Of these societies. would never have been ros-
SCISSORS Of single brick. And in most OF the
Eastarn cities Of our land. large number Of
these societies are in successful operation, not
only enabling their members to possess their
1n bit sna OF
What is good for the workingmen Of Phila-
delphia, Boston, and other Eastern cities is cer
tainly good for us here in Chicago, and it ap
peszs somewhat strange and incomprehensble
that they are not now in operation in this city.
Ono OF the chief cauees, possibly, that such so
cieties do not exist hero Is want of knowledge
or appreciation OF the immense benefits and al
vautages OF mutual cooperation I earnestly
appeal to my fellow-workmeD to think upon and
study ont for themselves the great pfinci-
pies that a1e embraced in 'mutu-
at cooperation" The beneficial nature
OF such societies, when bassd upon
correct principles, honestly and ludlciously ad-
ministored, and applied to legitimate results, 1s
no 1ongar problematical or doubtful They have
passed entirely out Of tbe region Of speculation,
and have wherever established proved eminent
