Chicago and San Francisco

Chicago and San Francisco. —In 1871 came Chicago's great fire. From private and voluntary contribution she received $3,500,000, not a very large sum. San Francisco sent $100,000. Chicago, we are told, has multiplied that by ten for San Francisco. But San Francisco before her fire was less than one tenth of what Chicago is now. Donations to San Francisco, voluntary and private, will reach a much greater sum than Chicago received. Much more wealth in comparison to size of city, perished in San Francisco.
