A few days ago tne Louisville
Couilei-Jouriialstated tbataNssh-
villa, Teuneaoee, manufacturer of
If iron hud made a .contract to
oliift-ISftOp.OOO wor jji of pig iron
in that
city a' price* ranging from $10 50
•o #13 50 |ier ton. The amount to
Im- delivered each day ia not to
exceed 50 tons. This contract la
the occasion of a great deal of
discussion In trade iron circles in
New York and among the Iron
iiionufsi-tiirera of Pennsylvania.
I is import is readily understood
whwi it is stated that the price of
pig iron in the New York market
*t present range fn-ra $10 50 U>
$31 per ion.
The Nashville contract shows
two things; First, that If ili«
Pt-nnay Irunia mills cannot prmluu--
Iron at a great de >1 less cost than
they do at pu-a.-nt they will have
to close nt no very distant day, and,
Hccond.tliut,tlic Tenn—‘tec and Ala
bama manofa -tnri-rs do not need
any protection./ They can coin|iete
successfully with any countf-y in
tbe world. The qu-stion Inis hern
raised whether the Nashville in.in
ufaclurer is able to carry out bis
contract. The Courier Journal an
swers for him and asya that bla
ability and bla responsibility are
beyond question. There is scarce
ly a doubt that in a few year*, the
South will be '.be great iron and
cotton manufacturing section of the
country. A few days ago we show
ed by tbe testimony of two promi
nent cotton manufacturers that a
protective tariff docs not help their
business, and this ' Nashville con
tract proves tlmt the South would
lie belter off without a protective
tariff on Iron, because If tbe tariff
were removed tbe Southern iron
and coal Held* would at once un-
lergo a wonderful development.
