SOUTHERN IRON FOR PE>

SOUTHERN IRON FOR PENNSYLyA
MA CoNSUMFTION.-The teamer DE- So
soug unloaded on her wharf in this civ
yesterday 30 tons OF Southern pig-irCn
made IN Alabama, aud consigned to
purchasers IN this city and New jersey
The ron was shipped from the point Of
manufacture to Savannah by rail, and
aid down here at a cost for land and
water transportation Of $5.G4 per ton
This iron is not only competing with
and ~diSplacing Pennsylvania iron in this
market, but also in the New York and
New England States. At least one-balf
of the pig-iron now consumed in New
England comes from Virginia or Ala
bama furnaces. The iron IS usually
coke made iron, manufactured AT poiuts
in the South where the coal and the orc
banks are close together, and sold for
less prices than the iron-makers of
Pennsylvania a afford to take for their
product. Heretofore this Southern iron
has chiefly been disposed of in Western
and Southern markets, but the produc-
ton IS now IN excess of demand and
the surplus IS finding its way TO North
ern markets.
We have frequently pointed out to
~ AOh-tbdSLtLo u ItuSNIYdnla that
the dangerous rivals they must contend
with are not III England, Wa,es or Bel
gum, but in the great coal and i-on-ore |
regions III the Southern States. VII re
iron can probably be made for IS ana
SO per ton. The steamers running
north ward rom Savannah, maiuiy
aden with iron, are a confirmation IF
our statement.
OF course, no tarii barrier can be set
up between Pennsylvania and Alabama
TO keep the Southern pig-iron out of our
market. To the consumers Of iron. il ,
the millions at the North. the cbean |
iron Of the South is a boon and a bless
ing. But what are we going ia do
about it: How are we TO meet The
market: The only way to do
1t IS to resume possession Of our owl
natural advantages. The coai combina-
ton, which SITS ike a incubus upon
every manufacturing industry il Penn.
sylvania, must be broken dawn. We
must nave cheap coal one, more. TIE
tarlff on iron orc must be repealed. C,ur

they need to mix with native ore with
out paying a penalty OF 70 cents per

Rains have fallen there during the last two
days, and the water supply, which is supposed
to have caused the trouble, has been replen-
