also channels constructed by
the ingenuity and energy of
man. New Orleans has been
built up and!supported entire
ly by. its natural position
Chicago owes its greatness to
the wisdom and energy of its
first founders. St. Lenis has
grown great, both because. of
its natural position and the
energy of its citizens. This
latter city is extending. to rs,
of the Red river country, the
benefits OF her trade, and it
would certainly be nsleh to
our interest to meet her mer-
chants on the halfway ground.
Bacon, corn and iron we ought
naturally 20 get cheaper from
St. Louis than any other city.
1t surely is not good policy to
pay New Orleans commissions
for baying and selling those
articles, when they could be
got free from the commission
tax. New Orleans is our nat
ural mart for sugar and coffee,
1t is apparent to every one,
that TO 60 to st. Lonis for those
articles would be utter folly
and the folly of going to New
Orleans for Western produce
and iron, ought to be equally
apparent. AS to dry goods
We could safely allow all ths
great cities of the Union X
compete for our trade. New
Orleans is close to, us, but sh,
never has offered sufficient in
ducements to prevent our mer
chants trading to New York
st. Louis can compel our pee
pie to &c to her for Western
produce. Now, il her mel
chants will take advantage o
this fact, a vast dry goods trad
may be opened up with us, al

New York.
1t has long been our idea
that our planters and farmer
