Political Gossip from
Washington.

Washington, June11 Especial
Correspondence. Within thlee
months a company at Brauden-
burg, KY. expects to be able to
supply the American demand for
IiLho6raphic stone. Heretofore
we had been receiving cur sup
ply from Bavaria, Germany, i'm
porting from $4,000 to S85,OOO
worth annually. But the war
has thrown us on our own re-
sources. Chemicals, minerals,
fertilizers, etc, for which we
formerly depended upon Germa-
ny we are now producing oar
selves. We used to say, "Oh,
ttey will be so much cheaper if
we buy them from Germany in.
stead of paying the extra ex-
pense of producing them at
home," and so, like England in
a great many instances, we be-
gan to rely on the power with
which we are now at war.
But before we accepted Ger
many's challenge the war had
becom, for US more than a pro-
tective tariff. it was a prohibi-
tive tariff. Already we have ia
ken up the manufacture of dye
stuffs from coal-tar products.
For years one interest fought an
other on the question of protec-
tioh to dyestuffs made here, and
in the compromise the home ia
dustry had to walk the plank.

1t is evident that the revenue
bill which the Senate favors will
not produce as much money as
the bill which the House pre-
pared. Senator Weeks says there
is no need for so much money,
anyway, because the admihistra-
ton estimates are notoriousIy eX-
aggnrated. In any event, it will
do the administration no harm to
practice a little of the economy
which Mr.. Hoover and others are
preaching to the people. That
this will come hard to the admin
istration will be readily admit
ted; for there never was seen
such a reckless prodigality in the
expenditure of public funds in
time of peace as this country
witnessed from 1913 to 1917.
With the war as an excuse for
the further exercise of their Pc
culiar speciality, it is small Won
der that all the executive depart
ments are striving to wiring the
ultimate dollar from Congress
under a plea of war necessity.

Japanese domination of the
Far Eastern markets for cotton
goods is all but established. Re
ports just coming in show that
for the first eleven months of
1916 the value of japanese COT
ton goods exported was $72, 900, =
600, an increase of 40 per cent
over last year. The total pro-
duction of cotton yarn in 1916
was 100000 bales, of which
549,O00 bales were exported,
compared with a production of
100000 bales the year before,
OF which SIG, 900 bales were eX-
ported, the decrease in exports.-
ton of $1,000 bales being due to
the larger quantity being used at
home. During the first six months
of 1916 Japan imported GAL, 454,-
600 POUNDS Of raw cotton, a very
large increase over the p1 1eceding
year, and a matter which should
meet with the approval of those
southern cotton Congressman
who still cling to the faith of the
40s: that the South should sell
her cotton abroad, and buy cot
ton goods made up in foreign
mills and admitted to the United
States free of duty, no mater if
our domestic cotton manu- factur
ers have to go out of business

Two years after the German Sup
ply was shut off, Hill of Connect
icut estimated that if every pen
ny of the specific duty which it is
now proposed to add to the rev.
enue rates of the present (1916)
law should be added to the price
to the consumer, it would take
one hundred years of that bur
den to equal the losses which the
existing famine has brought up
on the country in the last twelve
months"
We had depended upon Ger
many for our potash supply, and
when that was cut off America
went to work on the problem.
An American expert estimates
that with proper co ordination
of certain industries we can pro-
duce 100000 tons annually of
potash which can be sold to tFe
American farmer for SIS per ton.
1t has done us a lot of good to
find out what we can accomplish
when forced to do so. But what
shall we do with these new in
dustries after the war? Leave
them to the tender mercies of a
power as ruthless in trade as in
warfare? Scrap them? Assum-
ling, for the sake of argument,
that the duty was added to the
price, would it not be better tn be
independent and pay the advance?
And is this not especially true in
view of the post war internation-
al combinations which are plan
ned to control sources of supply,
and to which the United States
is not a party?
