Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Inaugural Address of Governor Wm; Pitt Kellogg: To the General Assembly of Louisiana; January 13, 1873 In assuming the arduous duties which devolve upon me as the chief executive officer of the State, I do so under a profound sense of the magnitude and importance of those duties, as well as the grave responsibilities I am to ineur in discharging them. It is my purpose to devote my best efforts and whatever of ability I may possess to perform faithfully all the duties and obligations imposed upon me by the constitution and laws of the State. A retrospect of the history of Louisiana during the few years that have elapsed since the termination of the late civil war presents much that affords no gratification to the minds of her people. It is not to be concealed that no effective means have been adopted to supply the greatest needs of the people, or to restore the State to its legitimate condition of progress and prosperity. Possessing abundantly all the elements necessary to insure agricultural and commercial wealth and independence, the State, nevertheless, languishes in all her material interests. With impaired credit, diminished commerce, and accumulated taxation, the embarrassments are serious and call loudly for relief. Immigration to our borders has been slow and inconsiderable, notwithstanding all the advantages of soil, climate, staple products, cheap lands and facilities for commerce. Our great mart of commerce, the natural outlet of trade from the vast valley of the Mississippi to all countries of the earth, is weakened in its capacity to control its legitimate business, and is forced into competition with cities of the interior less favorably situated for commercial competition, yet more blessed with material prosperity. Capital from abroad is but sparingly introduced here, where, under favorable circumstances, it would be highly remunerative to its holders and would be freely supplied.
