Huge Dye Firm Gets Charter
!. j. + J. !. !. i. !. 4. J. i. i. !.

The National Aniline & Chemical
Company has been chartered at AL
bany, N. Y, with 100000 shares Of Z
per cent preferred stock Of 500 par
value, and 100000 shares of common
without par value. The avowed pur-
pose of the company is to supply all
American dyeing requirements, and
the capacity will be more than 30,0O0,-
900 pounds per annum. Here is a
wonderful example of the opportuni-
ties which the war has afforded by
cutting off foreign competition. The
Republicans, when in power, afford a
similar opportunity, without resort
to bloodshed, by adopting the protec-
tive tariff policy.
Because the textile people and 9TH
er users Of dyes could not get into
agreement with capitalists who wished
to build UP dye industry in this coun-
try, the Republican party was prevent
ed from enacting rates of duty which
would afford this industry adequate
protection from the cutthroat COM
petition of Germany. Our dye-users,
whose power was great and OBVIOUSLY
used, effectually blocked all attempts
tn put the dye industry on protective
basis. They did this because they
could purchase from Germany at low
er prices, and Germany was using this
market as dumping place whenever
1t appeared that a dye industry was

about to develop mere.
Then the war came along, and our
dye-users found that they could not
get dyes from Germany in any amount,
and that our dye-manufacturers had
been put out of business because pro-
lection was denied them. The price
of dyestuffs scared to heights never
dreamed Of, and, as the Congressional
expert on the dyestuff situation, Hon.
e. J. Hill, remarked when the pres
ent tariff law was amended by plac-
ing duty on dyes: IF every pen
ny Of the specificial duty which 1t is
now proposed to add to the revenue
rates Of the present law should be
added to the price to the consumer lit
would take one hundred years of that
burden to equal the losses which the
existing famine has brought upon this
country in the last twelve months"
The Democrats hemmed and hawed
and haggled over the proposition to
put protective rates on dyes in 1916,
and having at length committed them
selves to the policy in this instance,
boggled the whole thing by levying
rates which pleased nobody, and which
will have to be amended very soon af-
ter peace comes. But the war is CIV
ing the industry chance to sprout
and wax strong and with the Repub-
licans in control of Congress in 1919
the dye industry will get the treat
ment it deserves-from the National
legislature at least. Users of dyes
have long ago discovered their mis-
take. They do not want another ex-
perience like that of 1916.

There is much wisdom in the sug-
gestion that slaughter of mich cows
and of hens should be restricted, and
yet It is difficult to control such mat
tiers by law. There is no great loss in
the slaughter Of COW that consumes
$12 worth of feed In the production of
$40 worth of milk. Even II used for
breeding purposes, such a COW might
hot produce a calf that wcu!d be any

there any loss in tie slaughter of

should not be slaughtered as long az

were somewhat costly. So, when the

to let the contract for range-finders

country but of Germany as we'll. The
specifications were sent to German
bidders, who failed to qualify, and who
failed also to return the specifications.
Their excuse was that the German ad-

senators have declared their inten

The constant activity of the liquor
interests is a peril to free institu-

ate while alcoholic liquor itself is a
menace to the nations wealth. morals
and efficiency. Organized labor, he
said, has been asked to oppose pro
hibition because bartenders and
brewery and distillery employees are

a tendency to centralize government

exists in Germany and Austria-Hun,
