tomhouse report Of expectations and i'm
portations to May !. 1875. These ex
ports are valued at about seventy-three
millions of dollars. while the foreign i'm
! ports have been reduced to about twelve
and half millions 1t is apparent that
the coDjoint competition Of Eastern cities,
rendered more formidable by improved
railway and terminal facilities. arc telling
powerfully agains. our outlet. and that
the mode Of business upon which New
Orleans could once have subslsted heI
population is rapidly yielding to the
causes to which we have just adverted.
| We will be even more explicit. New Or
leans was founded upon ;actorage OF
ireights in transit. once Indispensable to
the commerce Of the West. New Orleans
was once the exclusive mart Of all the
trade OF the Southwest and interior West.
Those who read this viii! reflect tina. this
tactorage involved the payment OF very
1 large sums for the storage. transit and
transfer of the crops and cargoes Of the
valley. 4 large army Of draymen, levee
laborers. and draught animals were sub.
sisted upon these expenditures. 1t also
brought more river and ocean craft to our
wharyes. and more profit to that almost
| extinc: interest, the ship chandlery.

support her present population or to justi-

! OF this needed: 1t will be found in the
three to four thousand unemployed men.

women and children. 1. win be made
! eyiden. in the destitute persons who have
| applied for transportation elsewhere. and
who have been upon their own solicita-
ton sent to be subsisted by communities
better able to furnish TODD and Labitation
than ourselves.
II this reasoning be correct, i. will be
necessary that New Orleans should adopt
and establish other means than those
which now exist to subsist her population
or 10 justify the immigration Of an addi-
tional number.
The inquiry then arises whether the in
dustriai occupations common to other
peoples can be introduced in New Or.
SUyN thnyy
may not be. There is every reason why
the experiment and effort must be made.
or New Orleans must follow Venice and
other cities. which have lost their capacity
to subsiss their population by precisely
the same cause.-the change Of trade
channels, without substitution OF any
other mode of industry. except perhaps
professional beggary.
We believe the public a. the North have
conceded that New Orleans is quiet and
peaceful city. Property and person is as
safe here as elsewhere. Why then. with
the reduction of profits on capital and
industry at the North and East. may not
the people of this section turn their atten.
ton to the inducements offered here?
Why should not some Of our organized
institutions communicate with that sec.
ton and introduce. j: possible. some
modes Of industrial employment which
would render our unemployed population
to some extent useful:
