Thin iron section i>? tho most representative and in well adapted for armor plato factory requirements. I will give you nonioof tlio many j'easons for thiw position: "First- Tho hoat iron and r.tot I aro made South at 45 per ccnt. cheapor than in tho North. ".Second The ftonthcrw mills make and ?joll iron and stool material to Car negie \f Co. and other*, who in turn add their profits and then sell thia Southern produel to tho government "Third Wo aro a dollar or moro a ton nearer tidewater than our N'mthern competitorw. "Fourth This section is contra! and more iunecosihlo to the enemy than our Northern competitors, "Fifth Our national advantages are greater, fur-reaching ami ia.'.tinir. I n like Northern factories, the .Southern mills are finmcdiatoly surrounded l?y mountains of iron ore, coal and crude or raw materials in inexhaustible amounts, wherewith armor plate is 1 made. Thus, by natural exemption:*, the cost of haulm# is eliminated from the cos\ of Southern iron and steel. "Sixth Inthecasoof railroad strikes and like unfortunate revulsions, the proximity of factory to this raw material is a great and vital advantage. In ad dition to this .Sheflloid fronts on the Tonnossoo river. "Seventh -Our labor is safer, ns cheap or cheaper, and equally as ofli ciont as (he Northern ho! p. "Kight h- The cost of living is cheap er as well as tho material for construct ing an armor plate 1'uctury and maiutuin ing it. "Ninth?
