One must be impressed these days when reading the reports of the Man- ufacturers’ Record on the progress of the south with the extent of new in- dustrial development there. From Virginia to Alabama there is evidence of great actlvity and the additional capital employed and the new build- ings projected, or heing completed are so great that it is seen at iglance that the conditions ness in the south today ar prosperous but most prom I well. One of the sulphur companies in Texas is now increasing the power of its plant to 36,000 horsepowecr, for- merly 13,000 h.p., and its outpnut when these plans are completed will !pe 600,000 tons of surphur annuall At Graceville, Fla., a new $1,000,000 concern is about to begin the manu- facture of car couplers.

This development is fine for the country at large. It will have a tendency for a time to cause sorna shifting of labor and other conditions throughout northern states and per- haps in the west also, but it will he benencial generally to all parts of the country, as long as business con- ditions in the south are prosperous and money not too expensive. It suggests that the south will grow more and more to understand the New England attitude toward the tariff, as it gets to be more and more fond of industrial enterprize factory as well as in field and more and more familiar with the coin- mercial conditions throughout the world that make for or against pro- fitable business conditions and fair wages.
