Nearly forty years later there was
less than 81 100000 capital engaged
in the American powder making bust
ness, and barely 800 workmen were
employed in the manufacture. Less
than ten years later the Mexican war
automatically increased the business
by a large amount, but eve in 1880
the capital engaged was under 81
600, 000. II was nearly $4,000, 600 in
1870 and the employees numbered
about 1000.
More than ten years earlier one of
the Du Points at Wilmington had
made the discovery that was To trans

The use Of high explosives in agricul-
