the south to be prosperous whether ??A?e Prevails or war continue, (ConUnsed from Age One.) mand for merchant vessels most cor Itinue for many years, to fill up th TOcniim created bv war and to tak care of the vast expension of tfa world's commercial activities. The South, except the Chesapeaki Bay shipyards, which have been bos; to the limit of their capacity for i year or more, was the kT|qt section o: the country to fed the effect of thi shipbuilding activity. Now new yard are being established at nearly ev ery port in the South. Some of thea< yaxds are for the purpose of build mg wooden ships only, but one bj One they are turning to the buildinj a# o+aoI vbdoaIo. It Viaq he?n fount that steel ship material, even if thi section had to depend upon Pittsburg: could be laid down at Southern ship yards at a lower cost than to th< yards of the Pacific Coast, and or the Pacific Coast shipbuilding is having a wonderful boom. Already c number of Southern yards nave taken contracts for big steel steamers, some of them for Eastern buyert and some for foreign shipowners. 1UC UVUMif VUV4VAVAV) war or peace prevails, has started out for a great shipbuilding activity. This expansion of shipping in this Country and abroad will, to a very considerable extent, take up the Slack which will be created when the armies of Europe cease to pour their flood of metal into the trenches of that war-ridden continent. Railroad building has been at a standstill for some years. We built last year only a little over 500 miles or less than had been built in any year since 1862. The expansion of population and of trade in this country will literary compel a great railroad building period. Economic toees greater than man-made laws, will biiog about these conditions. And these very economic forces, working but like the mills of the gods in grinding slowly but grinding exceeding fine, wiH compel the wiping off from statute books any law* which hamper railroad construction. Under ordinary growth of business interests, as measured by the prograts of half a century up to the panic of .1907, this country should now be consuming'fully as much iron and steel as it is producing had there been no European war to bring about the tremendous demand from L. . Europe. f There are few better posted authorities on iron in the United States +l*nrfc Tamna A HraAn. TVTAfliriant of Matthew Addy & Company, a firm which for about half a century has been a leading factor in the hnadiine of iron. Discussing the outlook for this industry after the war, Mr. Green in a letter issued to his customers two weeks ago said: , "Of course this week there has been a great deal of serious thought af to what is going to happen when the wr is over. A study of economic history shows that invariably since the Napoleonic era, that is since the present modern industrial conditions pBBBftiaaam 191 I To the M, l 1 have all WP knn Ill V/ coming We wii undertakin vour work I way, friend ' best greeti: extend to | TheLJ I immaiaiiifimnjaiEia $ .

We think not The Wo l" wide effort at reconstruction, 6 baiWing of ships and the bringing 6 &H industry up to date will mean 0 use of iron on a scale so gigai that the war uses of iron will s< a small by comparison." 7 The Manufacturers Record is \ clined to agree with Mr. Green's v 1 of the situation as to iron. We 1 8 for continued activity and prosper fl in the iron and steel trade, e : should there be a temporary halt 3 a few months at the beginning " peace when the world is adjust r itself to the new situation bef [ starting on its great rebuilding ci 1 paign. 3 Thus cotton and iron and coal i ' coke, four of the great industa " of the South, are likely to be equs [ as prosperous and possibly evenrn prosperous under peace conditi( L than in tis period of awr-created , tivity. And when we turn from th ? interests to others which have b< 5" stagnant, we shall find that pei will bring abounding prosperity many industries which have b< ' stagnant under war. T^he lumber industry, which 1 i seriously suffered, will jump into ' mostimediate activity after a pei i treaty is signed. The phosphate < i port business, which has been d? ' for more than two years, will le forward when Europe can oi again enrich its soil with the ph phate rock of the South. The nav | store* industry, great in its wi ramifications and its influence business throughout a large part the South, which, like phosphate a lumber, has. been depressed by W would soon meet abounding prosp ity under peace. Other interests fo stagnant by the degression in lu ber and naval stores and phosphi will face the revivifying influence their activity and will keep step the march to a new and broader pn perity than these interests ever < joyed In the past Thus We shall have, so far as 1 can bee, a continuation of the pr< ent prosperity created by war a the prosperity in other industr! which would be created by peat combined into a great well-round development broader in its sco] wider in its reach and more gene] in its effect on the South and the nation than any prosper: known to this Section in tHe past. Moreover, we shall have the bei ficial influence of the Federal I serve pan King oyvusm. me u after that bill was passed the edit of the Manufacturers Record stat in an interview that American bu ness interests had entered upon new era; that a change in our nancial system, world -wide in its i portance, hd come about and tt the panics of the past would pre ably not again be repeated in th< severity.
