RHODES TO PAVE WAY FOR A
DUTY ON CRUDE BARYTES
Aids Missouri Industry.
Company Headed by St. Lousian Now Building
an Immense Plant.

ate classified unt!cr section I Of
paragraph IS Of the Dinglcy tariff
act. This would give some slight
protection to the product Of the
plant and remove the competition
Of the German product, which is
now introduced free of duty. How
important is this protection and
how great is the margin between
the crude and manufactured article
is shown by recent official pnbll-
cation Of the United States geoIogi
cal survey, which, after giving
figures showing the production Of
barytes in the United States, says:
The value of barium compounds
is very much greater than that Of
the natural barytes, this being es-
pecially true of barium biuoXlde.
The artificial sulpllate is valued at
SIS. y per ton, as compared with
50 per ton for the natural hariuin
sulphate, or barytes. Al of these
barium compounds, with the eX-
ccption of the witherite (the natur-
al barium carboDate) could and
should be manufactured in this
country from American barytcS,
and there should be a profitable
! field for the manufacturing chem
ist in their production.

the Republican party in Missouri
that the desired protection c.n hr
