STEAD'S ' PICTURE OF PULLMAN
What the British Oritio Says of Chicago's '

CAUSTIC CHARACTER SKETCH FROM LIFE
Grasping ( Jroeil Tarudod aa Philanthropy
Ignores the 1'uiulumonUil 1'rlnclplo
of American Jimtltutluns Spec
imen InstnucoB.
William L. Stead , the author of "If Christ
Came to Chicago , " In his chapter on the
Chicago trinity , as he terms Marshal Field ,
Philip D. Armour and George M. Pullman ,
thus sketches the last named :
"Mr. George M. Pullman Is nn active re
publican politician , well known In Wash
ington , ana much esteemed by party treas
urers , to whose campaign' funds he has
been a liberal contributor. Mr. George Al.
Pullman Is notable among the milllon.ilres
of Chicago as the man who , taking it hint
from Krupp , endeavored to found a town
in his own Image. The town of Pullman ,
which was named after the author of Its
being , Is a remarkable experiment which
has achieved .1 very great success.
"Unlike Mr.Fleld or Mr. Armour. Mr. Pull
man has built up his fortune without ic-
sortlng to the more ruthless methods til
modern competition. Indued , his career is
notable as an Instance of competition ty
high pi Ices rather than by low.Mr. . Kielii
wiped out the ictall storpmen , an 1 Mr.
Armom the small butchers , by underselling
them. Mr. Pullman has imuvrioiil no rue.
He has always succeeded , not bv producing
a cheaper article , but by prod'n ' ing a dealer ,
but the hlgh-pilced aitlcle was so much
better that Mr. Pullman succeeded In es
tablishing a virtual monopoly of one of the
most highly specialized buslac es ju the
world.
"The first Pullman car which he con
structed and put upon the rails cost $18,000
to build , as against $1,000 , whlcnvag the
prlco of the ordinary sleeper. Jlullwuy men
shrugged their shoulders. It vas inugnlll-
x'ent , they said , but It was not business. A
palace sleeping car ut J18.000 could not pos
sibly pay. Mr. Pullman refined to be dis
couraged. 'Let the traveling public de
cide , ' uas nil he asked , 'run your old Bleep-
em and the new one together , I will charge
half a dollar more for u berth In the I'nil-
man , and see which holds the Held. ' The
verdict of the public wan Instant and de
cisive ; everybody preferred the Pullm.in at
the extra pi Ice , nnd the success ot the In
ventive car builder was assured.
MADE IN HIS OWN 1MAG13.
"The Pullman rnmpany was Incoi puivi'.ed
with a capital of PI.OCO.OOO. the tiuota-
tlon for which In the market today isttvlcc
that amount. He took up an estate cf
over 3,000 acres around Lake v'alumet ,
which is fourteen miles from the center of
Chicago , and which was at th.it Mme lar
outside the city limits. There , following
the example of Messrs. Krupp at Ussen , he
set to woik to construct a model city In
his own Image. Mr. Pullmun'ti ambition
was to make the city which he had built an
Ideal community. In order to do so he pro
ceeded In entire accordance with the dom
inant feelings of most wealthy Americans
by Ignoring absolutely the fundamental
principle ot : American Institutions. The
autocrat of all the Huaslus could not more
absolutely disbelieve In government ty
the people , for the people , through the
people , than George Pullman. The whole
city belongs to him lit fee simple ; Its very
streets were the property of the Pullman
company. Like Tammany hall und various
other effective Institutions In America , not
from the broad basis of the popular will ,
but from the apex of the presiding bets ,
Mr. Pullman was his own boss. Me laid out
the city , and made the Pullman company
the terrestlal providence of all Its Inhab
itants.
"Out of u dreary , water-soaked prairie ,
Mr. Pullman reared high and dry founda
tions , upon which , with the alii of his
architect and landscape gardener , he
planned one of the model towns of the
American continent. Here was a ciiit.iln
of Industry acting us the cltv tullder.
With his own central thought , dominating
everything the city came Into oMdtenca as
a beautiful ami harmonious whole. He
achieved areat results , no doubt. J'efote
long the Increment of the value i > f the ital
estate on which Pullman Is built Is ex
pected to amount to as much ns jhe whole
capital of the lullumu rompuiy. t.xcry

building. It la n town bordered with bright
beds of llowers und stretches of iHwna ,
which , In summer time at leasl. are grcj u
and velvety. It has Its parks nnd It lines
and Its pleasant vistas ut villas , nnd , in
short , Pullman Is n great achievement of
which not only Chicago but America dots
well to be proud.
"It was not a phllanthronlc but n business
experiment , and none i' : < ? worse on lhat
account. The great principle of gulil pro
quo was carrieu out with uii'lPViatliuf "f"S-
ularlty. If every resident ut 1'tillnian hud
gas laid to his house he was compelled to
pay for It at the rate of W.'J5 m-r UMO ) "et ,
although the cost of Its nt.ir.ufacturj to the
Pullman company was > nlv PH } tents per
1,000 feet. Ample water Srupp'.y was ghon
with good prensure , but of tnls noee ary
of life the Pullman company was able to
extract a handsome profit. The city of
Chicago supplied the corporation with water
ut 4 cents per 1,000 gallons , which was ic-
talled by the Pullmanltes nt 10 ccncs per
1,000 , making a pioflt large enough to en
able the corporation to have all the water
It wanted for Its works for nothing. Thus
dlil the business Instinct of Mr. Pullman
enable his rlijht hand to wusli his left , nnd
thereby created at the very thresh > ld of
Chicago are object lessons as to the com
mercial profits of municipal social-
Ism. But between municipal social
ism , representing the co-operative effort
of a whole community voluntarily combin
ing for the purpose of making the most of
nil monopolies of service , and the autocratic
exploiting of a whole population of a city ,
such as Is to be found In Pullman , there
Is a wide gulC llxcd.
PULLMAN FJIOM BEGINNING TO END.
"As a resident In the model town wrote
me. Pullman was all very well as an em
ployer , but to HVP and breathe nnd have
one's being In Pullman Is a little bit too
much. The residents In the city , he con
tinued , paid rent to the Pullman company ,
they bought gns of the Pullman company ,
they walked on streets owned In fee slm-
plo by the Pullman company , they paid
water tax to the Pullman company. In
deed , even when they bought gingham
for their wives or sugar for their tables
at the arcade or the market house. It
seemed dealing with the Pullman company.
They bent their children to Pullman's
school , attended Pullman's church , looked
at but dared not enter , Pullman's hotel with
Its private bar , for that was the limit.
Pullman did not sell them their grog. They
hail to go to the settlement at the railroad
ciosslng south of them , to Kensington
called , because of Its low row of saloons ,
"bumtown , " anil given over to dlsoidcr.
There the moral and spiritual disorder of
Pullman was emptied , even as the physical
sewage ( lowed out on the Pullman farm a
few miles further south , for the Pullman
company also owned the sewerage system ,
an < l turned the waste Into a fluid , forced
through pipes and conducted underground
to enrich the soil of a large farm. The
lives of the worklngmen were bounded on
all hides by the Pullman company ; Pull
man was the hoilzon In every direction.
"All this provoked reaction and a feeling
of resentment sprang up'In the model city
agalimt the too paternal despotism of the
city builder , and so It came to pass that the
citizens by a vote annexed themselves to
Chicago , of which It IB now part and parcel.
This was a sore blow and a great discour
agement to Jlr. Pullman. Uut no annex
ation can destroy his control over the town.
It Is still the property of the corporation
of which lie Is the thief and controlling
mind. > - ii
"Uut In the civic life of , Chicago Mr. Pull
man takes no part. Ho may reply that he
has done enough for duty and more than
enough for glory In crl-atlng what Is n
model suburb of the city , and If every
employer had done as much Chicago would
have been a , very different place from
what It Is today. Tllat may bo admitted ,
but the fact remains , w > lar as the admin
istration of Chicago Is" cdncerned. Mr. Pull
man Is almost as much of a nonenlty as
Mr. Marshall Field and .Mr. Philip Armour.
Where Mr. Pullman can be autocrat ho
U willing to exert himself : but where he
must be one among a multitude , although
he mluht be If he chose primus Inter pares ,
he will do nothing , no , not even although
with a little exertion he mlsht do every
thing. He lives In Chicago. Ills house Is
one of the best built mansions on the lake
side. Compared \ > lth his lordly pleasure
house , the residences of Mr. Field nnd Mr.
Armour dwindle Into homely Insignificance ,
but at the city hall wo look In vuln for
any tra-u of the tnlluence which has revo
lutionized the traveling accommodation of
the world.
"Mr. Pullman In Chicago IB something
Ilka the mediatized sovereigns In Ger
many. He Is not exactly In the sulks , but
he has about as much direct Influence In
the city administration as the king of
Hanover hail In the north German con
federation when his kingdom was absorbed
against the will of Its monarch. "
