GETTING IN SHIP-SHAPE.
The rolling mill is the only one of
our industries that is idle and it is
not likely to remain so very long.
Many of the best went straight
through the panic unmoved and
those which succumbed have one by
one revived. The scale works, the
West Rome foundry and machine
works, the North Rome furniture
company, and the O'Neil mill are all
on their feet again and in good con
dition. The Rome iron works (fur
nace) the Towers and Sullivan plow
factory, the big Connally tannery,
the Bowie and Terhune stove facto
ry, the Patton manufacturing Co.,
Alexander and Hume, the Rome oil
mill, the Towers ginnery, S. D.
Camp’s mill and ginnery, McClure’s
mill and other smaller concerns have
gone through the disastrous year of
1893 without difficulty, and appa
rently with a fair degree of prosperi
ty. The chemical works during that
time increased their output a hun
dred per ceit, from 150 to 300 car
loads of fertilizers. The Rome iron
company did well, notwithstanding
the lowest iron market since 1847,
and now Mr. Collier has leased the
Round Mountain furnace, and will
increase his output by about sixty
percent. This addition will cause
the employment directly and indi
rectly of 200 to 300 men in coalings,
ore mines, and at the furnace. rus
tically all of the trade incident to
that extension of work will come to
Rome. The Rome brick company,
a wealthy concern, has been sound
and independent financially, but shut
down temporarily several months ago
The indications now point to the
construction of a good many build
ings this year, and the brick works
will doubtless have to resume oper
ations early in the spring.
From this review it will be seen,
that with the exception of the roll
ing mill, our industries are in a
sounder and better condition th an
they were before the panic. That
exception we think, will not long
remain, for the indications point to
an early resumption of work there.
The outlook for the manufactur
ing industries of Rome and vicinity
seems to be better as a whole than it
has been in three years, at the same
time we find the farming community
nearer out of debt than they have
been in years, and working upon an
economical bacis better calculated
to induce prosperity. A conservative
view of the situation is such as to
inspire confidence in the business
and prosperity of Rome. The period
of depression has tried us as by fire,
but it has left us sound and safe.
Let us forget the trials and dis
asters of tiie past and look to the
future with new hope, new courage,
and new energy. Let us pick up
our lost nerve and give play to the
old time enthusiasm and public
spirit.
The gradual improvement which
we note here is not confined to this
locality. The York Herald of the
17th contains a column of telegrams
from various towns in New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Con
necticut, which tell of the rcsump
tion of work by scores of factories,
in many branches of trade, from iron
to silk and from coal to ribbons.
The list shows the re employment
of about twenty thousand hands,
many of whom have been idle since
July and August.
SENATOR GORDON AND THE
TARIFF.
Senator Gordon has been asked
by the Cedartown company to vote
against putting iron ore and coal on
the free list. The Cedartown com
pany, we are told, has headquarters
in Philadelphia. It may possibly
hurt Pennsylvania temporarily to
admit ore and coal free but we tbink
that is improbable Certain it is that
free ore and free coal will not hurt
Georgia.
We have some acquaintance with
the subject, having seen a great deal
of iron furnaces and iron ore, and
knowing something o: the rapidity
with which iron is being supplanted
by steel in commerce. We have
also read recently’ the testimony of
such iron masters as General Im
, bodcu, Mr. Bowron and Mr. A. M.
I Shook, to the effect that the South
ern iron industry can expand little |
further until it finds away to turn j
its iron into steel. Pending the J
perfection of a process which will
work this transformation in South
ern ore, we would be put at once in
position to make steel if Cuban ores
were admitted free of duty at the
ports of Georgia and Alabama. This
opportunity would be greatly widen
ed if coal were also admitted free.
So far as this region is concerned,
the furnaces are located iar inland,
and it would be impossible to freight
foreign ores to them for the price at
which home raised ores are now de
livered on the yard. The Rome
furnace gets ore for $1.35 to $1.50
per ton and we are informed that
the Birmingham furnaces get red
mountain ore for a lower price. P'
foreign ore were delivered absolutely
free of cost at Mobile, Brunswick,
Savannah or Port Royal, it could not
be hauled to the nearest furnace for
less than $ 1.50 or $2 per ton. The
only one that can be profitably im
ported is the high grade Cuban ore,
which would compete with the Lake
Superior ore that brings six or seven
dollars a ton in Pittsburg. There
is no such ore in the South except at
Cranberry N. C., and there it is in
small quantities.
The answer to this is that ore
and coal coming in free of duty
would build up a line of furnaces on
the sea coast. If so, it would be so
faj from the inland furnaces of this
region as not to affect them serious- I
ly But we think there is a more '
important reason why sea coast fur- |
■ naces would not hurt the inland
, trade. They would naturally be of
I a high class and their product would
Igo largely to ship-building, and to
I exports —a class of trade sure to
i come under the Wilson tarilf, but
not before possible for many years.
This would build up an en
tirely new family of indus
tries not heretofore engaged
in this country. Every great
ocean steamer makes requisition on
mere than three hundred different
arts and occupations. The ship
building on the Clyde in one year
amounted t<» 650,000,000. Our prox
imity to Cuban ore and our unpar
alleled variety ot resources for all
' manufacturers that enter into ship
I construction, including everything
; from kaolin to copper, makes the
' opportunity for building up such an
' industry on the Georgia or Alabama
’ coast a rare one. Nova Scotia coal
i could be delivered at Savannah, Port
j Royal or Brunswick, as cheaply as
■ coal in Birmingham or Connellsville,
1 and Cuban ore more cheaply than
• Lake Superior ore at Pittsburg.
i
The senator represents the whole
i state, and we see no reason
why he should forestall the splendid
i opportunity for the development of
■ steel making and shipbuilding on
the Georgia coast.
c
NO SINGLE RESOURCE.
The revival of our industries, one
by one, reminds us that this com
j munity is not entirely dependent
j upon the cotton crop for its trade,
i We can make trade by putting hands
,to work. Let us set ourselves to

THE ROME TRI hunk, SATURDAY JAN OAR Y 20. 1894
the task of devising ways and-means
for bringing more wage earners
here. It is not to be done so easily
by one or two big concerns as by a
large number of small ones. In
variety there is safety and a higher
degree of prosperity. The one idea
towns have been the great sufferers
during the past two or three years.
Os course, in putting hands to
work, we have got to consider where
their pay will come from. More
goods must find more buyers, or the
industry will not prosper. The
buyers, we think, will be forthcom
ing. The revival of industry on
the Eastern and Middle States re
news wages aud once more makes
that region a purchase of goods.
So much for that market. As for
our own, its hope lies in the better
condition of the farmers. That is
generally conceded. The outlook,
then, for selling manufactures is
fairly good.
