Reduce the Rates

Now that the Exposition lie assuming
that completed aud finished state when
we eau invite visitors to it, aud show it
with pride 10 them, it is becoming
matter of Importance tn secure favora
BILE terms from the railroads, or such as
will encourage visitors to come here by
the thousands Several excursion par
ties are now arranged from the West
aud Northwest, IL number of which will
arrive by the end of nest week
a very large number of our South
western neighbors from the State of
Texas are similarly desirans to visit
the Exposition. Despite the fact that
Texas raised very poor crop last year,
it contributed more visitors to the
Worlds Industrial than any other
State save Louisiana it has produced
big crop this season, million and
half bales of cotton, and We have con-
-sequently reason to hope for large
friendly INVASION of Texans, If such
terms can be obtained from the rail-
roads as will serve to invite them here.
Inasmuch as the other railways lead
ing to New Orleans have greatly reduc-
ed their rates for the Exposition, the
people of Texas are naturally surprised
that the Texas Pacific and the Morgan
lines should not be equally alive to the
public interest aud to their own, for
they will not only derive much imme-
diate revenue from this Exposition ira
vel, but from the throngs of people
they will carry from here to Texas to
see the country and, perhaps, to settle
there To defer a reduction of rates
until active travel is already begun
will have the effect of arresting it. The
Exposition travel upon these two roads
viii not begin until their homogeneous
encourage it by reduction in rates 81
5milar to that of the other lines center,
ing here.
Those railroads which reduced rates
for the Exposition last year profted
greatly by it; if the roads to Texas do
likewise now, they will enjoy even
greater profit, for tie farmers in the
alone Star State" are in better condi-
tien to visit New Orleans than ever
before, and the travel thus started
will continue for half dozen years to
come.
