Excerpt from Wedding's Basic Bessemer Process: Translated From the German

We hope at some other time to attempt an explanation of the chief reasons why this process, which has proved so successful in Germany, especially, and in England, Austria, France and Bel gium, has not taken hold in the United States. It has long since passed the experimental stage, and now deserves to rank among the great industries of the world. In 1882 there were produced by this process about tons of steel and about tons of slag. In 1889 the output had risen to about tons of steel and about tons of slag. As a fertilizing material the slag has forced its way against adverse criticism and open hostility to a secure place as a merchantable article. The fact that in eight years the output of the steel rose from tons to tons speaks of itself for the uses to which it can be. Advantageously applied.
