MAY Raise Powder Prices.


Owing TO the action of the German
government in placing a special tax
of so a ton on all potash received
exclusively for shipment to America,
the price of black powder and Of
blasting powder is likely to be raised
I'm the near future. Potash is the
basis Of black powder, but according
to Salesman William Coin of the +
l. DUPONT de Nemours Powder Com
pany, forms no part of the smoke
less powder now almost exclusively
used by the army and navy and by
most sportsmen.
Officers Of the powder company to-
day refused to discuss the probable
effects OF the German tax on potash
other than to say that that country
controls the commodity and can tax
Il as Il sees fit Il is generally known
that most American powder concerns
have been forced to re-adiust their
contracts with German firms as a re-
suit of the new tax.
Another commodity affected by the
action of the German government is
cotton, as without an adequate supply
of potash the cotton crop of the south
land could not be grown and cotton
would soon cease to play the import
ant part it now does in the markets
of tile world.

MAXIMUM TARIFF
ON GERMAN GOODS
Attitude Of Foreigners To-
ward Potash Industry the
Crux Of Situation

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. 81
Farmers everywhere, textile opera
tives numbering nearly million and
all those engaged in the production OF
explosives are directly interested in
the strenuous effort now being made
TO induce President Taft 10 issue a
proclamation imposing a maximum
tariff upon all goods imported from
Germany.
This acute issue may bring about a
tariff war with Germany which viii
affect business conditions for the bet
ter all over the United States because
Of the fact that while Germany sells
millions OF dollars worth OF manu-
factured articles in America the
United States has no market in Ger
many for anything but raw materials
of universal demand. II all the mar
kets OF Germany were absolutely clos
ed to American products the South
American countries now ignored by
American manufacturers would as
simulate everything now shipped TO
Germany except raw foodstuffs which
would quickly find profitable markets
elsewhere.
II is the German made textiles that
regulate the pay OF operatives in the
United States and not the mill owners
i'm America. The same applies TO all
others who are engaged in the produc-
tion OF goods in close and direct COM
petition with German made goods Of
the same kind
The state Department and the De-
partment Of Agriculture are now
pressing Germany as hard as diplo-
matte usage will permit The attitude
Of Germany toward the potash indus
try is the cruX of the w9ole situation.
Germany has levied indirectly, a spe-
cial tax of S22 ton on all potash re-
served exclusively for shipment to
America. In time Of war this tax
would anticipate defeat for American
arms against any nation more friendly
with Germany than with the United
States as potash is an essential TO the
manufacture of gun powder.
So serious has the potash issue be-
come from every angle that the De-
partment Of Agriculture has already
taken steps preliminary to the early
and heroic development Of the potash
deposits in the United States. Secre-
tary Wilson has designated A. S
/ Cushman. an expert connected viii
/ the Institute of Technical Research
to take up every scientific phase o
the present situation with a view I,
adding potash to the commercial pro-
ducts Of this country. Heretofor,
potash has been imported under try
ing but not prohibitiye conditions, ant
the price at which the material was
delivered at American ports made tn,
development Of native deposits les
necessary than other work Of tn,
same general character.
The present threatening attitude q
Germany compels the instant stud.
of the potash situation from ever
angle and the commercial and diplo
matte factors will be finally dispose
of while the scientific development
proceeds under the direction of Direc
tor Wilson.
