WASHINGTON, June 26.-[Speciall-
Within week the census office will
issue bulletin for iron ore which will
be perhaps one of the most remarka BILE
as we'll as one of the most suggestive
OF the series of bulletins issued by that
Office. For the first time in the history
OF the country, Alabama will change
places with Pennsylvania as producing
in one year more iron ore than the Old
Keystone State. This significant state
ment means that the South will be the
future iron producing center in the
United States.
The forthcoming statement will show
that in no part of the United States has
the industrial progress been moro salts
factory than in the South. Said Super-
intendent Porter to-day, when inter
viewed on the subject ut is fact that
our statistics will show the South to be
producing as much iron ore now as the
whole country produced in 1870. Tho
same Is true as regards pig iron and BIZ
luminous coal. In my opinion, the
changes that will come about in the
near Tuture in tho manufacture of iron
VIII make the South the great iron pro-
ducing region Of the United States.
This will notatfect Pennsylvania, for
we have abundant proof that in all these
migrations the old centcr takes I'D an
other class of manufactures which is
generally an advanced product of the
same article. In England the old cen
ters OF iron manufacturers were Man
chester and birmingham, but when
South Wales and Barrow took the lead
the former cities engaged in the produc-
ton OF steel and other things.
Tho three future centers of iron
manufactures will be Puget sound on
the Pacific coast, birmingham, East
Tennessee and North Carolina, in tho
South, and tho pittsburg region in the
North. Schooled in adversely, the South
is already beginning to realize the
blessings that follow from turning the
