The South to be Sunaehle

There are the strongest. reasons in
the world for making the assertion
that theSouth win at ne distant day

tablished northern centers as an iron

who recall the early days Of Birming-
ham will remember that northern
iron manufacturers were wont to make
light of the claims that the new aspirant
for the branch. of trade was able to
Manufacture iron cheaper than the
north could produce it, but this delu-
sion has been expelled long since. To
day southern iron is a potent factor in
the markets of the world, and its in
creased consumption has been brought
about not alone from the fact that it
can be sold more cheaply, but because
intrinsically it is better suited to the di-
versifed uses to which it has been put.
