OF the rccnperativc power us well Ms the

The value OF Expositious in general needs
no vindication; is fact whose size has
never been disputed. The value Of the
Worlds Exposition which opens at New
Orleans in December, is particular and
It's claims OIL special commercial rs well as
popular consideration are so strong that
they need only 10 be- stated in order to

men. New Orleans is not only the great
city Of the South aud the natural outlet OF
the whole Mississippi valley, but she is
geographically one of the great cities OF
he world and tho true gateway between
the Mexican and Southern American
countries, with their raw material, and the
Northern and Western Sta,os with their
manufactures. That Mexico should be
our market is an axiom of political plilos-
nphy with all parties in tl.is country, and
the leading idea Of the Worlds Exposition
has been tho introduction OF our nianuiac-
turcd goods, our machinery and our i'm
proved methods i'll tho nations to the
south OF us.,in word, the extension OF
trade facilities. 10 this end, lmwcvcr, the
