This exhibition has fer greater impor-
lance than is generally appreciated. 1t is
Esaaly the celebration Of the successful
creation Of new South. The copditions
of labor and industry, which have been
adjusting themselves during nineteen years
of peace, are just beginning to be felt, not
only in the South, but in the coantry ], :
large. The problems entering into south
ern development are no longer political.
Industrial and social questions are now
the dominant ones. The friendly rivalry
is to which community shall make the
most rapid and certain advance in business
development is now quite as apparent in
the South as in the North.

We had thought that, possibly, the
"World's Exposition" was too far south, but
this, we now see, was an error. The thought
and the sympathy of the country has a
southern leaning and the indications are
that the Worlds Exposition at New Orleans
is to be asuccess beyond what was esteemed
probable some months since by the most
sanguine of those who projected the anter-
prise New Orleans is the south
ern emporium Of commerce. It is a mag
niicent city. IT il as well known through
out the civilized world as New York, Lon
den or Paris. It's history has more of
romantic fact than any other centre of
civilization, capital and commerce on this
continent.

The prospects now are that the Exposi-
ton will draw support and patronage from
all quarters Of the globe. There
is no doubt that it will be international in
its character, and Of large and lasting ben
eft to the United States. The good that
will result to American commerce, Amer
Jean manufactures, and the stimulus to in
ventive genius, cannot be lightly estimated.
The benefits, to say the least, will be ma
tional.

The Worlds Exposition buildings at New
Orleans will probably be the largest ever
erected. The Crescent City expects to out
do any previous expositions in some fea-
lures, and it will doubtless succeed. twill
be New Orleans display, and the world
knows what that is.
Memphis Appeal.
We have just emerged from the rude sys-
tenn Of labor, rendering introduction of
new methods and improved implements
difficult and almost impossible. A new
South has come into being, and progress
is the order of the day. The Exposition at
New Orleans will do much for the cotton
business in all its branches. : y It
will prompt to the development Of all
our soil possesses-to take advantage Of all
our climate makes possible. It will widen
our thoughts, nationalize our notions, and
expand our enterprises, conquering that
apathy and inertness that has been the
bane of our people, and create a demand
for more and better education. The New
Orleans Exposition may be the great step
in ushering in this better order of things.

The cooperation Of the Cou,ier-Jomnal
Was promised in advance TO the managers
OF tho New Orleans Exposition. They have
fully won public confidence, and we hope
to see them carry the undertaking to
magnificent success. Louisville is prepar-
ing in 1884 to surpass Louisville in 1883.
and we hope to see New Orleans in 1885
surpass what we are doing now. The South
IL attracting the attention of the world, and
every industrial display still further
strengthens the tendency of capital and
labor to the South. In this work there is
no antagonism, only the most friendly
spirit Of cooperation.

The President, with that practical wis
dom which has distinguished his course
during his entire administration, has sent
to the various departments and bureaus of
the General Government intructions look
ing to national exhibits that shall illustrate
the workings of the executive or admins
trative authority in all its ramifcations.
Official notification of this has been sent
to the various foreign governments, who
now understand that the United States is
to be part Of the Exposition, and that its
official action will be commensurate with |
that of 1876. 1t is. therefore, areued
that Congress cannot ask the exposition
authorities to pay the large costs growing |
out Of this; that it is the business of the
nation, not Of section, and that it is the
'dnty Of our lawmakers to furnish ample
funds both for the construction of the
buildings, and the necessary expenses in
cadental thereto, and also that the several
departments and bureaus may make their
displays on scale consistent with the dig
nifty OF the Government, and with the pride
Of American citizens.

Mexico and all the Latin-American Re-
pubiics are to make extensive exhibits.
Those countries thus manifest their wish
to enlarge their commercial relations with
the United States. The populations of
those Republics exceed 100000 Their
total annual trade amounts to s4Oo, ooo, Ooo
England and Germany have most Of it, but
the exposition will do much to turn that
great volume of trade to this country.
