LADIRG, PREP INTO YOUR WARDROBES. To THR EDITOR OF THE ILERALD:— Chicago and her sufferings are just now the theme of every conversation, the aubject of every article in every paper, and the first thought in every mind. We hear of Mayors calling meetings; men, lilgh aud low, all calling upon each other to pele viate the sufferings cal by the dire calamity. But where are ‘the ladies?

Houses ior shelter, homes and all other edifices are built nowadays principally by steam, especially so in Chicago. ‘The wood-working mills, stone-dressing and sawing establishments, together with the machine shops, im wich the en- gines and gaachinery Necessary 10 reproduce Buch Peres tainay the natiecs we all Norton Y 01 icky: ‘ave nol been dostroyed, those alread; yes Qperation have only capaci for the ordinary demang, while millions of brick will be daly required Uli the city is rebuilt, and should be made by the most rapid processes from the clay which abounds every where about tue purged city. Machinery 1s necessary tor these pur- poses, Which the destroyed machine shops m Chi. cago cannot supply, but which can be had ready made here. ‘Yhe manufacturers and builders by steam of Chicago bave lozt ali except thelr skill and indomit- abie enerzy. ‘To offer to give them money to re-es- tavlish themselyi# in business they would tako as almost an irsuit. They have no security to give for money loaned. But to those who woulda sell them machinery wecessary to re-establish their business on a scale commensurate with the inevitable de- mana for.their productions aud give them time— say one dnd two years—to pay for it, witn inverest they would be grateful, give security in cuatte! mortgages on tue property itself, and undouvtedly pay promptly at the maturity of their obligations. It is umportant thot thts machiuery should be sup- plied from here and at work without delay, and im: ‘suggestion 18 that liberal gentlemen of means snail assuciate themselves together for the relict of Chicago and retvuilding the city by sending their checks im mounts of $590 and over wo tue editor of the HrraLp, to be disbursed for engines, boliers, planing machines, moulding machines, sawing macuinery and alt the various kinds of machinery necessary Jor making sash, doors, Window binds, stairs, tooring, &c., as well as for stone sawing and dressing machinery, to- gether with machines for moulding, haudiing, burn- ing and pressing brick; to be purchased juuiciousiy ‘aller consuiiation With tis intended recipients of Caicago, The old established and well known men, Who can give good reicrences, lately in the diier- ent branches of business to which jt relates, but now burned out, and who Will buy it delivered in Chicago on the terms above stated and put it in Operation for the purpose named, ‘One muliton of doiiars’ worth of such machinery is more necessary to Chicago now ilan the same money valne in provisions and Clothing.

Ip was ia the planing mill of Hoimes & Luil where the fire first originated; it is entirely destroyed, aud I's re-erection and preparation for assistance in the work of rebuilding the city should not be delayed a day. I know them weli as prudent, industrivns, skiJul and honoradle men, whose labor of years and the savings of trugal lives is now gone. “xcept that they have their untiring energy and skil to begin again with, they probavly have nothing. Yet with sucti necessity and demand for their eiforts, their future, with proper encourage- Ment and such assistance as is herein indicated, will do great things toward the reproduction of Chicago, And there are many more like them and in hke circumstances in that stricken city, Know- jae hee things so Well I have veatured to write this communication, Respectiully, NORMAN WIARD, No. 43 Broap Srarer, New York City.
