SOUTHERN INDUSTRIES.

The possibility that the Northern and
Southern sections of the country may
reverse their positions on the tariff
question is not so remote as some per-
SONS may imagine. Already feeling
has been manifested in the New En-
gland states favorable to open markets
for their manufactured goods. 1t has
likewise been observable that a protec-
ton sentiment has been growing in the
South of late years, by reason of the de-
velopment of manufacturing Industries
in that section. How rapid that devel-
opment has been is a surprise to those
who read the statistics on Southern
manufacturing in the last issue of the
Tradesman. There has been yerlta-
bic manufacturing boom in the South
ern states during the year 1888, as Will
be seen from the following list, pub
lished by the Tradesman, of new manu-
featuring enterprises established during
the year. Among the leading branches
of industry the following are note
worthy: Eight agricultural implement
works, Z breweries, 65 brick works, 3
bridge works. boot and shoe factories,
u car works, "a canning fac
tories. 81 cigar and tobacco factories,
l65 cotton and wooden mills, "a electric
light works, 103 flour mills. AS foundries
and machine shops, 80 blast furnaces.
glass works, so ice factories. During
the year 201 mining and quarrying COM
panieS were organized; 81 street rail-
ways, so water works. 4S3 woodwork
ing establishments. In addition to the
above. the Trademarks list includes 5S3
miscellaneous industries that were es-
tablished during the year. The total
number of railroad companies organized
in the South during the year 1888 was
245, and more than one-half of the mile
age of railroad construction in the en-
tire country was built in the Southern
states. Twenty-one natural gas and oil
companies were organized, 81 oil mills
and Z rolling mills. The Tradesman
says that these figures indicate the wide
diversity and unmistakable drift OF en-
terprise and endeavor in the Southern
states, and demonstrate the rapid strides
that section is making toward becoming
the manufacturing region which its
abundance of resources has fitted 1T for.

RAILROAD TROUBLES.

One who has given thoughtful study
to the troubled condition of railroad
management in this country, aud who
has investigated the financial difficulties
which embarrass the capitalists who
are engaged practically in operating
and tinanciering the leading systems OF
railroads. discovers that the whole
trouble lies in the fact that the rail-
roads have oyer-cropped their credit
and cash resources without having
compliant treasury at the back of the
loan resources of New York and BOs-
ton. Hence it has followed that, in their
eagernesS for revenues from the only
reliable source left open to them,
each has played pirate on the other
members of the pools and demorallzed
ties.
1t might also have been added that the
effort with many companies to pay divi-
dendS on Watered stock has increased
the trouble. The traffic resources of
the country are the largest ever known,
and there is an abundance of it, even at
reasonably low rates. topay good divi-
dend OH every dollar that has been hon
estly invested in railroad building in
this country. In their efforts to get
dividends on millions that were never
invested in railroad construction and
equipment in addition to reliance on a
compliant chief of the treasury depart
ment to flood the market with money to
suit thee purposes of speculation, the
capitalists who own the railroads got
themselves into the trouble they are now
experiencing. Still, it will come all
right in time. AS soon as the railroad
business is reduced to strictly bust
ness system, and all elements of specu-
lation are eliminated from it, then there
will be no more cut rate wars, RAILROAD
stocks will again advance, aud good,
healthy dividends will be realized from
railroad investments. 1t will take time,
however, to bring about the proper ad-
justments; but as that wisdom which is
born of bitter experience is having its
influence upon latter-day railway man
agemeut, the prospect is encouraging
that it will not be very long time UNI
til the railroad business of the country
will be resting upon more healthy
basis than it ever occupied.

ROCHE is A ROGUE.

Such Is the Opinion of Celts Re
garding the Magistrate Who
Committed Edward Harrington
to Jail.
Special Cable to the Globe.
LONDON, Jan. 1.-The sentence of
Edward Harrington to six months i'm
priSonment at hard labor has aroused
the Irish press to fierce Indignation.
The Dublin Freeman's Journal, refer
ring to the matter, declares that more
outrageous sentence has not been in
fiieted upon any victim of the govern
ments coercion policy. The worst of
the Belfast insurance swindlers, it con-
tinues, is no worse than Magistrate
Roche, who refused to state the case
against Mr.. Harrington, but summarily
pronounced sentence upon him. 1t is
not likely that any appeal against the
sentence will be taken. Col Roche, it
will be remembered, is the magistrate
who sat.upon fence and condemned
two boys and girls to Jail for resisting
the bailiffs in the Vendeleur evictionS
in County Clare last July.
