THE EADS HEDGEHOG,

$500
The quilts of this fretful "varmint" seen
to point every way and to prick every.
thing.
One of the Eads journals attacked the
Ohio canalas an improbable ditch" One
of the advocates of that route replies:
The advantages offered to St. Louis by
the construction of this line are so great that
1t has been with me matter Of wOnderment
that any citizen of ST. Louis should regard it
with an unfriendly temper. What harm
can it do you! IL 1t not better to have two
routes to the sea than only onel l do not
disparage the benefit you will receive from
the cleaning out and opening of the Missis-
sippi;. but what is your objection to having,
IN addition, an outlet in this direction
Has the West no use for our coall Would
1t hurt you to send us grain and meat? Do
you not think that every additional avenue
to market cheapens transportation Would
1t not contribute to make St. Louis q great
grain centrea
These are temperate questions and hard
to answer without avowing purpose to
horn off every interest which may come to
the aid of the Mississippi outlet canal, and
thus render the Eads palisades necessary.
The war cry Of the Eads ring will thus
be: "No cure, no pay" This or moth
ing" 1t opposes everything and will de-
feat everything-itself included.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1874-03-10
SHOWING THEIR HAND.

The REPUBLICAN has warned st. Louis
that in advocating the Eads experiment
she was but carrying out the inevitable
opposition Of the Eastern cities and rail
roads. The following extract from the
New York Herald is quoted by the Ms
souri, Democrat to prove the hostility OF
these Eastern interests. The nationality
of the Mississippi Improvements is denied,
and it is charged with being a scheme
which is '.intended for sectional aggran-
dizement alone" 1t then adds:
The Western member is very set about
one subiect-he does not wish to have his
produce moved via the Atlantic seaboard;
and so determined is he that he would pre-
fer even route via Batfin's Bay or Behring
Straits. We would, therefore, warn Con-
gressmen in general that they should be
slow to advocate measures which clearly
mean the destruction of the commercial
prosperity of our great maritime cities.
The battery is here unmasked. It is
"the great maritime cities" against the
farmers way to market.
That st. Louis should have deliberately
divided the Mississippi vote in conflict
in which, if united, it can scarcely be
sufficient to carry any proposition is sim
gular. The Democrat even apprehends the
defeat of Eads' patent gratuitous dona-
ton. 1t says:
The public may be prepared to find, in
our opinion, New England and the maritime
cities of the Middle Atlantic seaboard more
ready to close effectually, if they can, the
mouths of the Mississippi than to open
them.
And adds:
1t can not be denied that such views as
these fill the average congressional mind
that represents the majority of Eastern con-
stituencies. And votes will be given in
support Of such views sufficient in number,
perhaps, to defeat the Eads bill.
We have made prediction which We
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1874-03-10

to make the fortunes Of few persons
even if such scheme were practicable.
We therefore challenge the St. Louis
paper to give the names of these real
estate Spectators who have engaged in
any such plan. Here is the charge of the
st. Louis Democrat:
We have been told by several New Or
leans people, and by those who have cor
respondents in New Orleans, that large
number OF real estate spectators of that
city had purchased large tracts of land
around the immediate locality of the pro-
posed canal convinced if ever such a canal
were built that commercial town of con-
siderable importance would spring up
there.
This should be contrasted with the
recent assertion of Mr.. Eads, that duck
could not walk on the site of the pro-
posed canal. The location has assumed
very sudden consistency. We fully
a cquit MIR. Eads of any such policy. To
erect a commercial city along his jetties
would require the adoption OF the Chinese
system of floating family residences
with aquatic gardens, and focks of ducks
accompanying them. The editor of our
Price Current, who suggests the probability
OF a village along the line of the canal
adopted at least to supply the wants of
the locality, shows a proper confidence in
the ability Of the soil to bear dwelling
houses as it has for more than half
century borne the weight of two great
forts and their armament. We acquit the
Eads ring of any purpose to build COM
mercial city at the jetties. The ring
rodents go in for the present pay and
contingent stock Of company SO itch
hat it can give work without pay and
pay without much work.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1874-03-10
TEE JETTY RING.

That portion of the st. Louis press
which assails New Orleans on the charge
that certain citizens have combined for
the purchase of the ground wherein the
Fort st. Philip canal is to be located,
manifests malice as inconsistent as it is
absurd. 1t attributes to these persons
whosoever they may be, a purpose to pur-
chase the Land with a view to build O COM
merclai town of importance along the
canal 1t is not reasonable that the COM
mercial interests of New Orleans should
be duped into the support Of measure
