Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Chicago in Tears and Smiles The eyes of the whole world are directed this year towards Chicago, the great Metropolis of the West. The nations of the earth are assembled there to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the discovery of our continent as well as to become acquainted with our glorious country, with its institutions, with our progress in all departments of human knowledge. There was no city of our country more fit for the great exhibition than Chicago, for "Chicago is America." No city of our continent has grown so big in such a short time, no city of our country is equal to it in its commerce and intercourse with life, it is unsurpassed in its scientific institutions. A great many of the richest people of our country are living in this city, but next to the palaces of the wealthy man we find the meanest hovels of the poor one; close to the magnificent churches we see the most shocking places of vice and gambling, whose doors are open day and night, threatening to devour every one coming into its neighborhood; side by side with the institutions dedicated to the service of science and knowledge, flourish those which foster stupidity and superstition - in short, Chicago with its bright and unfavorable sides is a true cop of our country, and everyone who knows Chicago, knows America.
