The Gypsum Trust.
From the Wall Street Journal

From the Wall Street Journal
Gypsum is sulphate OF lime which,
when ground and subjected to heating,
becomes plaster Of Paris. In this con-
dition 1t is used in wall plastering, wall
and ceiling decorations. terra alba, ter
ra cottaEniolds and models, flreproof1ng,

and fllers, dental work, paper manu-
featuring, cement NAL sis, land plaster,
fertilizers and many other industries.
Crude gypsum rock $ founi in almost
every state of the un'Jr Dot none Of 1t,
except as hereafter mentioned, was Of
such pure white color, evenness,
smoothness or chen.ics! consistency as
high grade work requires. This was
only found in the anadian provinces.
80 per cent Of whose quarr1es are owned
by Americans. The contest between
high and low duties was apparently be-
tween the American owners and manu-
facturers OF low grade gypsum and the
American owners and manufacturers Of
high grade gypsum; and as the land
freight, beyond few hundred miles,
often cost more than the stuff itself 1t
was largely contest between freight
rates.
Prior to the Dingley tariT gypsum
was on the free list Upon the repre-
sensations OF the domestic manufac-
turers that the business was open to
the competition and no trust existed,
the following duties were imposed:
Crude gypsum, 80 cents per ton; blocks
for building ~ cents per cubic foot;
dressed gypsum, so per cent ad .valo-
rem; calcined and ground gypsum, $2.25
per ton; selenite plates and manufac-
lures n. s. p, ,35 per cent ad valorem.
Shortly afterwards the manufactur-
ers combined under the name Of the
United States Gypsum Co, with an is
sued capital of $500, 900.
Keen's cement manufacture Of 10
years standing In Europe, is gypsum
product, the hardest wall plaster
known, used also for making artificial
marble, which can be made only from
the purest gypsum, and for this reason
had not hitherto been made in the
United States Under the Payne AL
Hrich tariff it was subjected to such
duties that in the Official returns thus
far published for the current year
Keene's cement disappears altogether
The explanation OF these excessive
and eccentric duties and cessation Of
imports may perhaps be found in the
locations made shortly before this tariff
was enacted upon deposits 500 miles in
length. swelling in parts TO 100 miles
in width. These contain in Oklahoma
alone no less than 1850 ,000,000 tons
of the purest white gypsum, all OF
which is capable of being converted
in a Keene's cement superior to the
imported article" and needs absolutely
