THE IRON OUTLOOK. A crisis has been reached in the iron industry of the South. This crisis affects all other industry. The Chattanooga Tradesman an nual No. 15 contains an instructive series of letters on the iron outlook by such leaders of that industry as James Bcwron, A. M. Shook, C.Jam me, H. 8., 'Chamberlain, Archer BroW,-«*T4 Jsfcin D. Imboden. The The Tradesman had propounded questions as to the cause of the pres ent prostration of the iron indu ß tr .; when and through what channel re covery might be looked for, what ought to be done ito work up the procTuat of blast furnaces into mer chantable forms of iron. The replies as to the cause vary somewhat, but mainly attribute the trouble to general depression, ag gravated by overproduction of fur nacee in boom towns, that is to say, furnaces built as advertisements rather than for the actual business of making iron at a profit. This class of establishments, it is said, has brought on the market consid erable quantities of iron to be sold a loss, thffs demoralizing a mar ket which was ' .already depresMta As to the re<o«K. the seems Stas such i r t h e r n s t a tcs. MMBBMMn lor this is that JU^n^Targely-superseded iron tn common use and for that reason the demand for pig iron, of a lower grade than Bessemer pig'* has been cut off. Mr. Bowron says: “In the face of the universal sub stitution of steel for iron and the gradual falling out of the race of our finished iron works one after another, there has been no encouragement for the investment of capital in the direction of any of the forms of man ufactured iron in the South. There is little accumulated capital in the South, where (regardless of the opinions of the tax assessors) the iron trade has been far from proQta capital that is available [is not all disposed to sacrifice itself lin the construction of works that jmay be and will be superseded as Ithe South commences to produce steel on an important scale. In my opinion the metallurgical position of the South has arrived at a point where no further progress will be nade until steel is produced on a large scale and economically. As kdoon as this is done the South and Southwest States will become a home Market for the Southern producers Hf iron, who, instead of paying from Me 50 to per ton to reach a mar- ket with their pig iron, will be pro tected against Northern and East ern competition by a similar distance and similar freights.” Mr. Shook shows how this emer gency may be met by manufacturing steel irom Southern iron by the new process with which he has long ex perimented. He says: “We can and hqve made thou sands of tons of iron direct from the blast furnace, admirably suited for basic open hearth practice. In the second place, by the use of the “Tal bot” process, any pig iron, from white to silver grey, from any fur nace in the South, where the sul phur contents is not too high (which is practically never the case in the South), can at an expense of 25 cents per ton, he prepared fcr the manu facture of basic open hearth steel, even without the use of scrap. “When the’South fully appreciates and realizes the above facts, we will then find an expanding market for the product of all the blast furnaces we now have, and as many more.” General Imboden and Mr. Jamme say some very important things about the need for working up raw iron. Mr. Jamme quotes an au thority to the effect that the South ern States use not over one tenth of iron per capita that is consumed by ,he people north of the Ohio. This might be supplimented with the statement that while Massachusetts is poor in almost all kinds of raw materia], she manufactures goods to the amount of over seven hundred millions —nearly twenty times the value of the cotton crop of Georgia. Mr. Jamme says there are nations with less population than’theJSouth em States which have all the develop ments of the arts and sciences, and it is time for us to wake up. General Imboden suggests a con certed movement in this direction, and this much is worth quoting. “The iron men of the South had well make up their mind, and the miner the better, that if li It seems t<> me of the South *cbuld meet in general convention at some central point—say Chatta nooga—and compare views and take council together, for a week or two and come to an agreement to co-op erate in a united scheme to raise some millions of capital to erect steel works, rolling mills of all de scriptions, rail and spike mills, stove and pipe works, car wheel and axle shops, locomotive and engine works, electric plant works, cotton tie mill and in short to convert their fur nace products into what the world is ready to buy, they would solve the problem of ‘whether to be or not to be’ under all contingencies, politi cal or financial.” SPRINGER’S COMPROMISE. Chairman Springer of the House committee of banking and currency has produced a compromise bill to meet the demand for a change in ' banking laws, lhe following from the New York Times of Jan. Ist gives fthe main points of the pro posed bill: “The radical objection to an un conditional repeal of the tax on state bank notes is, of course, that it i would open the way to the issue of , currency under various laws with no i certainty of uniform security. “Mr. Springer’s plan provides for currency to be issued to banks to the extent" of their paid up capital, secured by the deposit of United States bonds at and other THE BOMB TBIbuNE, FRIDA V MORMNG. JANUARY S. 18S4 public bonds at 90 per cent of their face value. These notes are to be full legal tender and guaranteed by the United States Government, which is to redeem them on demand. Here, it is obvious, there is ample induce ment for the issue of notes whenever any profit can be made from them. The withdrawal of notes when the state of trade does not require them is also provided for, and in a some what drastic fashion. There is to be a tax of 1 per cent-on all notes issued to a bank up to one-half of its paid-up capital; a tax of two per cent on the next 25 per cent of the capital, and of 4 per cent on the re maining 25 per cent. Presumably from the product of this taxation a reserve fund, is to be acquired and held by tbe Government equal to 20 per cent on all outstanding notes, and the Government is to hold a first lien on all the assets of the banks for any expenditure made in re demption of the banks’ notes. If the plan should tee carried out it is prob able that some form of clearing house for notes of the various banks would have to be provided, as, the notes being legal tender and guar anteed by the Government, would promptly scatter far and wide over the land, so that a bank wishing to retire them, in order to save the in terest on them would be unable to get them in. This, however, is a matter of detail, and could easily be arranged. Some, of the provisions of the national banking law, those as to reports and examinations and the criminal acts of officers, are to apply to banks under the Springer bill, but there seems to be no re quirement as to a reserve against deposits.

As the boughs are bent in the autumn blast; The sparrows hover ’neatli sheltering eaves, And tho voice of the wind is like one who grieves. It rains. It rains. And the team goes not afield To seed the earth for another yield; The farmer sits by tlie kitchen lire And smokes his pipe to soothe his ire. It rains. It rains. And the fire burns cheerful and bright, And the heart of the mother is happy tonight, And sho smiles as the lamplight shimmers o’er Her babes at play with Uieir toys on the floor. It rains. It. rains. And with voice with emotion choked, A mother, in garments tattered and soaked, Drags her weary feet with trembling tread To beg for her darlings a morsel of bread. It rains. It rains. And the sailor’s wife is sad. As tho wind shrieks by like a demon mad, a prayer ascends to tbe great white throne, “Oh, Father, leave ino not alone!” It rains. It rains. And tho tall trees sadly wave Their drenched boughs o'er a new made grave. And the grief stricken hearts burst forth again. As they think of the loved one out in the rain. It rains. —A.
