THE CHEMICAL HUB
OF THE UNIVERSE.
Hydro-EIeetrie Power at Niagara Falls
Has Been Key TO Marvellous in
dustrlal Development.

Niagara Falls, n. v, June 22.-The
United States leads the world in elec
tro.chemistry, and Niagara Falls is the
hub OF the universe In chemical man
ufacturing, according TO the industrial
commission of this city. Growth OF
chemical industries has taken place
simultaneously with, and has been de.
pendent upon, the development of
cheap and abundant power from the
cataract.
The first commercial use of electric
ity generated from Niagara Falls was
in 1895. and the first business supplied
was an aluminium plant, transferred
from Pittsburg in order to test the pos
sibilities of this new power At that
time aluminium sold for SO a pound.
Now it sells for 25 cents pound. and
practically all of the metal produced
in the United States-use of which in
creased by more than 300 per cent
from 1905 to t910-is made at Niagara
Falls. The aluminium industry at Ma
CARA has been followed by a score of
others, including the making of such
hitherto unknown products as calcium
carbide and artificial graphite, until
the neighbodhood of the cataract has
become the greatest chemical manu-
featuring center in the world
OF this growth writer IN Metal
lurgical and Cmerioal Engineering
said recently:
IF Germany may be justly proud of
having nursed and raised the coal tar
chemical industries, the United States
can claim applied electro-chemistry as
distinctly American The bulk of these
electro-chemieal industries was not i'm.
ported; it was made, born, nursed and
raised at Niagara"
Beginning with $4,000 horse power
less than twenty years ago, nearly 400,-
600 horse power is now generated at
Falls. Yet so vast is the flood
which pours over the precipiee that
the water withdrawn does not effect
the beauty or grandeur of the cataract.
This condition, moreover, is assured
for the future by the recently-negoti- |
ated Canadian-American waterways
treaty
This treaty which cannot become
fully operative in the United States
until the expiration on March 4, next, |
of the Burton law, permanently re-
stricts this country to use of 10000
cubic feet of water per second. This
Is only 4,400 cubic feet mare than is
now in use, and diversion of the addi- |
ional amount. in the words of Gen.
sixby chief of engineers. United
States army, will be practically inap-
oreciable." The treaty allows Canada
Use of $4,000 cubic feet of water per
second. 1t also removes the present
INIT of 100000 horse power on cleo
ric energy imported from Canada to
he United States. This restriction
vas made in 1906 to safeguard the then
Horseshoe cataract on the
'anadian side, but with the negotia-
ion of the waterways treaty the need
or the restriction passed.

NO EXCUSE THIS TINE.

The Democratic wool bill of last year
proposed q reduction Of SO per cent in
the tariff rates on wool. and 1t passed the
House by vote OF 22l to 100. The same
bill has again passed the House, this
time by vote of 1SS to %.
When he vetoed the bill last year
President Trft gave - his reason the fact
that the tariff board had not reported.
Now. in the light of the tariff boards
report, the Republicans Of the Ways and
Means committee propose a wool bill
calling for reduction OF 40 per cent in
Schedule X. or just two per cent less
than the conference bill which the Presi-
dent vetoed.
The tariff board, therefore viudicates
the Democratic position on wool. if such

was created. that the wool rates were too
high, and the President knew 1t also, for
