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.

RULED BY PREJUDICE.
Few persons realize how thoroughly
they are controlled by prejudice even to
thelr own disadvantage. For many years
the treatment of rheumatism, neuralgia,
seiatica and headache has been by some
outward application, and, therefore, with-
out stopping to think that the origin
these troubles must, from nece , be in-
ternal, the weary sufferer contin ues 10 rub
