Nw, after a little more than two cen
turies of ' usefulness, Philadelphia Is
. the second wealthiest city of the Uni
ted States and ranks third In the value
of its manufactured products, it nas
more than 1500.000.000 Invested in man
ufaeturlnar plants, and it tuma out, an
nually, products to the value of 8600,
000.000. In the manufacture of leather

Made jrew Tor Get Busy.
For many years Philadelphia was the
commercial center or tne whole united
States. New York saw Philadelphia's
great growth and being ambitious to be
at tne top, aug tne lurie canai ana
brought through New York the great
products of the west. That was before
the days of rapid rail transportation
and the canal made New York. As a
matter of fact when the canal was dug
It waa believed that Albany would be
come the chief American city. But
Manhattan received the benefit ana be
come the metropolis of the western
world,' Although hot the first. Phila
delphia. Is a srreat seaport, A deep ship
canal from Chesapeake bay to the Dela
ware river would add to its advantages,
and plans for it may some day be ac
complished. William Penn troved his
far-sightedness when he said that the
alte was a "spot which seemed to have
been appointed for a town," and that
"of all places In the world I remember
rot -one better seated." Philadelphia has
outgrown ana multiplied tne ronaest
dreams of Its Quaker founder, but his
opinion still holds ' good.
Chief of All Soma Town.
Philadelphia haa about 350,000 build
ings, and . of these there are 300,000
homes. More people live in their own
homes In Philadelphia than In any other
city on eartn. ita system or Duiiaing
and loan associations, nnd a general
program or encouragement to nome
foullders has resulted In this admirable
condition of affairs. Furthermore. Phil
adelphia haa a larger percentage of bath
tuba " per capita than any city Id tha
worm.
Philadelphia homas are fitted In every
degree of comfort and luxury, of course,
but even tha richest of them make no
oalentatloua display of wealth. Tha
Quaker Influence of colonial daya la
clearly marked in tha architecture of
the city's finest homea.
Not only la Philadelphia a city of
homes, but It la a city of home-lovers.
There la no "great white way" and one
iooks in vain ror aii-niant restaurants
and lobster palacea. The people attend
to their business in daytime and . go
home to their wtvea and bablea at night.
Which wholesome condition haa caused
the unthinking to Bar that Philadelphia
atmosphere makes a live American feel
Ilka the "Seven Young Uen of Ephe-
aua."
Always Meant to Be a, city.
Phvalcallr Philadelphia la one of the
few large cltlea which waa Intended to
be a city. Like Washington, it waa lata
out on a aeneroua clan, and to per ent
of Its area devoted to streets. Philadel
phia's city hall and a true Phlladel
phlan will not permit tha use of the
Qualifying adjective "the" la connection
therewith la one of the ahow placea of
the city, its mgiv tower, aurmountea Dy
a statue of William Penn, may be seen
for miles and miles. City hU clock
haa four farea, Ita minute band Is 11
feet long and weighs 125 pounds. City
hall Is the largest and most expensive
municipal building in the United States
Talk About Tour Bin Blood,
floclallr PhiladelDhla la tha most ex
elusive of American cltlea. Its highest
social circles are composed of families
whose names are linked with the eany
days of the colonies and tha republic,
names which are distinctly American.
The Philadelphia assemblies, great balls
given twice, a year at tne Acaaemy ox
mubio. axe 1 lie most exclusive social
functions In tha Americas. The posses
sion of millions Is not an "open sesame'
to these nortala.
Rlttenhouse sciuare. In the heart of
Philadelphia's homea. Is the moat exclu
sive residential section in any American
city. Here the Biddies, the Cadwalla
ders, the Drexels and tha rest of them
have nl avert aa children, wooed and wed
as youths, and from here they have been
buried.
Ana Tat Host, Democratic
Notwithstanding these things, the
spirit of Philadelphia Is democratic, as
Is manifested bv its schools. Ita public
school system is admirable, having been
used as -the foundation Of the entire
school system of the empire of Japan.
Philadelphia -leads all American cltlea
in the number and Importance of Its
teohnlcal schools. A good example is
everything In the useful arts, from the
mastery of a machine to the making of
bread. The venerable Franklin insti
tute, mother of American invention,
continues to foster inventive genius, aa
did the statesman-philosopher genius
whose name it bears.
Then there U Oirard college, the foun
dation of Stephen Oirard, which is one
of the leading philanthropic' Institutions
of the world. Many successful Amer
icans owe their learning and their start
in life to that school. Great In wealth
of endowment, Mta physical property la
in the very center of the city, and Is
probably the most valuable real estate
owned by an Institution of learning.

Wonderful for Its Antiquities. .
No other American cltv is so rich in
interesting antlaultles. The landmarks
of the old Philadelphia In which was
cradled the American republic have been
carefully preserved and cared for. In
dependence hall, the House of Betsy
Ross, where Old Glory waa born, and
others of their kind are reminders of
the heroic ago or our history. No less
interesting are the old Quaker meeting

about them, for they remind one of what
is almost forgot in this advanced day
that it has been but a little while
since the United States rirst taught the
world that liberty of conscience and
freedom of religion made for peace and
salvation, ana not ior war ana ae
structlon.
The Quaker Cltv It will remain to the
ena or tne cnapter. irounaea Dy Quakers
ana binit Dy them, it today nas a larger
number of adherents to the faith of the
Society of Friends than any other place
in the world. Their influence has al
ways been for peace and sobriety, and
the city of their foundation has not de
parted from the admonitions of its
friends. - For that reason Philadelphia is
proua or in peace ana contentment, in
spite of the wonder of outsiders who
flourish In the hot breath of battle.
In the 227 years since William Penn
made his peaceful treaty with the red
men ana established rus city or Broth
erly Love, tha course of hlstorv has
marked many chanBes. Democracy has
triumphed over autocracy in many lands,
and is still fighting a winning battle.
Science, useful science, has made 'won
derful advances. Right is no longer al
ways synonymous with might. And in
this marvelous transition, Philadelphia
has played a greater part than any other
one city on the globe.
