Gentlemen. think for a moment what has been accomplished by the leople who have made their homes in Chicago. As I staled before. our city was only incorporated in 1837. and. as you know. it was practically wiped out by the great conflagration in 1871. And now our city. with 80 per cent of its people of foreign birth or foreign parentage. is the wonder of the age. It is the center of education. of invention. of industry. of art. of music. and of everything that coniributes to the progress and elevation of the hunman race. Gentlemen. I proudly point to it as an example of what the immigrants have done for our country. Mr. MONI)ELL.
