THE CENT RE ‘REPORTER. FRED KURTZ, . .. Editor. SHIFTING THE IRON CENTRE. The Atlanta, Ga., Constitution bas printed an elaborate statement concern ing the growth of Birmingham, Ala., in- teuded to show the marvelous increase of the iron business there, and the prob- | able removal from Pittsburg to that city | of the iron interests of the country. The | sllowing are the chief points made: The | American public is now witnessing, and | the industrial public closely watching, | one of the most remarkable revolutions | ever effected in time of peace. It isthe | practical transfer of the most important mechanical industry from one section of | this country to the oth ‘he deporta- tion of iron-making from Pennsylvania | to the South. We have seen the grain- growing centre of the country shifted to the West; we have seen the pork-pack ing industry flit from Cincinnati to Chi- cago and Kansas City; we have seen southern cotton-mills underselling New England and American markets and challenging Chinn and Soath America. It is now claimed that the iron furnaces of Pennsylvania will be torn d and hurried to Alabama. It is certain, how- ever, that Birmingham can to-day make the price for iron on the American Con- tient; that Pennsylvania's supremacy is gone forever; that iron-making will de- crease in that State and will increase with amazing swiftness in Alabama and Tennessee. In his remarkable book, which is printed, “The South,” Col, Me- Clare, of the Philadelphia Times, adr nits this, and gives Pennsylvania warning og Iron can be made cheaper mn Bir mingham than in Pennsylvania by at leas: £5 a ton. The same grade of iron that costs $14 a ton in the Pennsylvania furnaces can be male at §0 a ton at the Birmingham furnaces. The iron-mak- ers of Birmingham are now refusing to tell how iron can be made They have ceased to regard Pennsylva- nia as a rival, and look withjapprehen- gion to England with the tariff on iron | removed. when the rupted by the and coal anda i GW oh aa nly Clhiea} iy During the late ng Railroas utter prostratic depression bank- ’ of iron Readi i was mn driven Lama furoaes were “ Foodie, BRS s NEAL Was nor y aed toy Gel) LEEXE} tons, coal product from 10,000 tons to 1,500,000 fons.
