RELIEF IN SIGHT FOR SOLDIERS
Pension Bill Which Held Up Pay
ment Of 100000 Passes
Senate.

Washington, D. C.-The action of
the senate in passing the pension bill
was the elimination of a dispute
which has held up the payment of
more than 100000 in pension pay
ments due Civil war veterans August
4. The financial operations of the
pension bureau have been chaos. The
house probably will accept the senate
provision regarding the abolition of
the pension agencies throughout the
country. This was the only provision
of the bill in dispute, and its settle
ment was expected to end the dead
lock between the house and senate.

THE POTASH CONTROVERSY.

With the announcement that the chief con
sumers of potash salts in the United States have
made peace with the German Kali syndicate and
that more than a hundred of them have signed
contracts TO buy potash at approximately the old
high scale of prices the German victory is eele-
brated and the German potash monopoly is again
riveted on the world While Washington talks
of prosecuting fertilizer trusts, chemical trusts
and others interested in the potash business, the
German government forces the potash mines into
a trust for the avowed purpose of raising prices
to at least double the cost of production and
to almost double the price some of the largest
mines were anxious to sell at to American buyers
While the United States tries to prevent combs
nations of capital other countries encourage and
even compel them We may be right iii theory,
but it is hard on us IN practice Worldwide free
trade has much to commend it IN theory, but
free trade does not work very well in practice
when it is jug handled" The two are closely
related.
When Germany imposed the excess produc-
ton tax on all mines that turned out more than
the quota of the total production Of potash al
lotted to them, the blow aimed directly at
the American interests that had contracted to
take potash from the independent mines at less
than the official syndicates price, and also at
those Americans who had invested money IN
German potash mines. But the law of gen
eral application to all who might dare to defy
the edct of the imperial government, and was
not technically discriminatory against this coun-
ty The attempt to bluff Germany into max
| ing concessions by threatening to impose the
maximum rate of duty against her goods under
the provisions of the Payne Aldrich tariff re-
| suited in a humiliating fasco in which our diplo-
mats and special agents appeared in a ridiculous
/ light
Germany is flying in the face of all the sup
1 posed laws of supply and demand in forcing
the maintenance of scale of prices sufficiently
high to enable the poorest mines to produce
/ potash at profit Potash could be sold much
cheaper and yet give everyone just as much profit
if few Of the big mines were given the whole
business and bonus were paid to the smaller
mines to keep shut Meanwhile the United
States is mining and selling at very small profit
or none at all its stores of equally valuable
phosphate rock Any attempt the part of the
owners of these phosphate deposits to combine
to conserve natural resources of this in
valuable fertilizer would be met by fedora
prosecution under the antitrust law. As potasl
and phosphates 50 closely related in thu
fertilizer business, the contrast between the
policies Of Germany and the United States
stands out in high relief
