IMITATION,

The skeptical press never advocates any
thing useful, but subsists upon flippant
jest or an unfair allusion. 1t SEXES on the
fact that the West and South have voted
for an adequate currency to throw blame
on the Republican members. OF course
the Picayu,e has no fixed principles of
finance. This was evidenced by its out
cry against the funding bill, and its howl
against the collection of taxes. But we
would like to know whether it takes the
Estates rights side of the Boston fnan-
ciers Democracy return to hard money?
Just as few weeks back it was placarded
by the Bee as ''the bondholders organ"
for its advocacy Of the State rights process
asked by those foreign bondholders to
compel State authorities to lay and col
lect taxes.
Against such partisan ignorance the
REPUBLICAN takes the side of the planter,
laborer and merchant. 1t is evident that
no compulsory return to specie payment
would benefit our people if attended by
the withdrawal of currency to such
an amount as to leave it insufficient
for our purposes. Boston and New York
have large investments in State and federal
securities. Each of these cities profted
greatly by the war. They acquired and
accumulated vast amounts of public OBJ
legations at very great discount. They
do not need the circulation which sparse
population requires. The banks Of New
York and Philadelphia, with their daily
clearing houses, may dispense almost en-
tirely with currency in all large transac-
tons. 1t is very different thing in in
terror Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia or
Texas. The effect of diminished circula-
ton would be appreciated value, and by
cutting down the volume of notes the gov
eminent would more readily meet and re-
deem its outstanding obligations. In pro-
portion, then, as this circulation shall be
restricted, must be the advance in the
actual value Of public securities, be-

A SCHOOL SHIP AT NEW ORLEANS,

In connection with the ship yards whicl
st. Louis is to open we greatly desire t,
see some department of nautical educa
ton introduced in our schools, and SHOULD
especially delight in seeing one or NOR,
school ships at our harbor. We hav,
been favored with the perusal of a com
munication addressed by the secretary o.
the London Board Of Trade to one of ou1
most experienced and intelligent shipping
mere hants, T. J. Woodward, Esq, inclos-
ing reports from the conductors of several
training ships, together with report
from the Marine Department, and of the
Board of Trade, with reference to the sup
| ply of British merchant seamen. From
this it appears
l. The Warsprite, at London, received,
during 1873, $50 boys; of these there re-
NAMED on board at the end of the year
III, there were ia sent into the royal
navy and $50 sent into the merchant SER
vice.
2. The Mars training ship for homeless
and destitute boys furnishes copy of its
rules. 1t is headed by the Earl of Dali
housie, and among its general committee
are the municipal officers of Dundee, For
far, Perth and other cities of Scotland.
3. The reformatory schoolship Akpar
is stationed at Liverpool
4. The training ship Chichester is
stationed off the port of Greenwich,
Kent. The president is the Earl of
Shaftesbury. There were ass boys
shipped during 1872, of which number
half were drafted into the Royal navy
and merchant service. Two hundred and
twenty-eight Of the wild, rough boys of
London "have been educated, trained and
disciplined, and sent afoat to fill one of
the most useful positions in life that
young lads can be called on to occupy"
The rules and details of these training
schools show that they are in charge of
officers Of the Royal navy; that their
food, clothing and comfort is cared for !;
that their religious and moral culture is re-
garded, and that large and valuable |
addition to the naval service of England |
is annually made.
This subject is commended to the d.
rectors of our public schools. 1t is posi-
Die the federal government, in view of the
great value of seamen, and especially Of
'eamen Injured to the climate of the south
'eas, would place vessel at their disposal,
When there might be easily recruited as
many boys as would constitute school
nd a working force adequate to the
marine exercises of q seaman. Let us
ave training ship at New Orleans by all
neans,

OUR MARITIME INTERESTS.

( The recent movement at st. Louis il
favor Of line of steamers for the Brazi
trade, is an evidence that this great West.
ern city sees the Importance Of providing
a direct trade with the tropics which will
give the freight to her own boats, barges
and railroads instead of to the East.
The little village of Vide Poche, whose
inha bitants used to support themselves by
hooking drift-wood from the eddy and
hauling it to st. Louis, has been convert
ed into the manufacturing suburb OF
Car ondelet. There are furnaces and ma
chine shops, at which are assembled the
food, fuel and iron ore, and a populous
and prosperous iron interest is estab-
lished. Why should not this iron
works produce as good fabrics
as any in Europe? Why should it not
produce the fabrics Of exactly the same
quality? An order for iron workers from
Wales or Manchester, or from the Clyde,
can be sent out, and in sixty days the
same men who built engines or plated
ships in either of the places named can be
doing precisely the same thing in St.
Louis. 1t is this transfer of skilled labor
that has increased SO enormously beyond
home demand the manufactures of all
these great Northern cities. We con6ne
ourselves, however, to the purpose and
capacity of st. Louis to build steamships.
In this she can compete with either the
builders on the Clyde or the Delaware.
1t is obvious that St. Louis and Chicago
must soon hunt foreign market for the
products Of their home industry. This can
alone be found on this continent, and
New Orleans is the proper place at which
to effect an exchange of commodities. 1t
is also the only port at which maritime
interest can be organized in connection
with the rail and river interests of St.
Louis, Chicago, Cincinnati and Louisville
in the prosecution Of this proposed trade.
New Orleans, then, must cooperate
with St. Louis. If St. Louis builds ocean
steamers, New Orleans must purchase and
work these steamers. She must have
workshops to repair them, because Grip
pied vessel can not be lowed up to St.
Louis for repairs.
In organizing this maritime commerce
New Orleans. will need engineers and sail
ors. She has an unemployed population
Injured to the climate and fond of enter
prise and commercial adventure.
Our capitalists and merchants in the
provision and grocery business should
prepare for this new era of business. Our
river outlet is deep enough for the tropical
trade, and all the materials for that trade,
except the steam shipping, exist.
We hope ST. Louis will soon provide US
with that indispensable agency of foreign !
commerce.

cause tn interest payable IN green
backs, and even the bonds them
selves, when liquidated at maturity,
will approximate very nearly specie par.
This would be splendid operation for a
foreign bondholder who has laid in these
bonds at discount, and we do not won
der that all such capitalists should prefer
to contract the actual wants of large
part of the country to enhance their own
gains. Let them wait, as they can well
afford to do, until their profitable ventures
shall be rewarded by a course of public
finance that will not Cypress the labor and
enterprise Of the land. That an organ of
foreign interests should, like the New
York Herald, print the restrictive advice
OF the late Senator from Boston, does not
surprise us. The adoption of the same
position by journal calling itself an
organ of the people and planters of Lou
lsiana, would astonish us, except that we
have given its solution in skepticism and
ignorance.

THE QUARANTINE SEASON.

Ihe appointment of DR.. A. w. Perry
yesterday by the executive as resi-.
dent physician at the quarantine station
near the mouth of the river has received
the general approval of the people and of
the profession. But there is another very
important incident connected with the
service of DR.. Perry. The present Board
of Health seem determined to make an
efectual experiment for the exclusion and
suppression of infectious epidemics.
They have been encouraged by the expert
ment OF last year to rely greatly on car
bolic acid and other disinfectants used for
the purpose Of isolating cases and locali-
ties, and of exterminating the germs in
ova. 1t is understood that DR.. Perry
fully concurs in this system of protection,
and has added the valuable idea
Of applying the pungent vapor
OF chlorides and acids to disinfect and
purify vessels as the Board of Health
purify and disinfect buildings. 1t is un-
derstood to be the purpose of DR.. Perry to
employ an apparatus for this purpose
which can be put into immediate and
effectual action, so that the vessel NAV be
disinfected without discharging her cargo,
and consequently without the delay at
tending the old system of keeping ship
at anchor until all danger of infection is
at an end.
With the scientific efficiency of this
theory We do not profess to NEEDLE, but
regard the commercial advantages which
may result from its success as sufficient to
interest our merchants.
1t begins to be apparent that the views
OF the REPUBLICAN as to our future trade
are irrefutable. That is, tie chief reliance
for an import and export trade in Western
products must be with the tropical coun-
tries. The trade is now diverted from
New Orleans in great part by the delays
attending the quarantine system. The
coffee trade between Brazil and the West
IS now conducted chiefly coastwise. If
any system Of protection and disinfection
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1874-04-03

can be devised which will pass this tropical
produce through our city without extra
delay and expense, it is plain the economy
Of freight, insurance and distance must
restore to New Orleans her carrying trade,
transfer and exchange of these important
elements of commerce.
Since the appointment of DR.. Perry the
Board of Health receives the cooperation
Of an honest, active and able chemist and
medical director. We congratulate all in
terested in the commerce of New Orleans
upon the fact of his recommendation.
