to the dry seasons, the displays in
some of the classes have not been SO

blessed with, they had fair that was
the equal OF any that has been held

AMERICAN DYEsTUFFs TRADE.

It was apparent long before the onlteu
States entered the war that some American IN
dustries would be strengthened and others es-.
tablshed as a result of experience gained When
manufacturers found it difficult, II not 'lmpos-
sible to obtain supplies formerly imported
from Germany. Probably few persons look Tor
bitter trade war to follow the present conllict'
but in this country, as well as abroad, the ten
Cency will be toward a larger measure OF III
dustria independence. which is a very different
thing from an economic boycott, such as was
proposed last year at the Paris economic con-
ference
This tendency is seen in the action OF leading
manufacturers of dyestuffs in this country, who
are organizing to meet German competition
after the war by maintaining the business built
up since Germany's foreign trade was halted by
the blockade of her ports The business has
become important, and a company has been
formed to take over three Of the largest cheml-
cal and dyestuff concerns in the country. That
the industry here has passed the experimental
stage is shown in the statement that one maker
of high grade goods dyed twenty-five million
yards of cloth last year with American dyes and
that not one complaint was made about the
durability of the colors.
There seems to be no reason why a great IN
dustry, which was extremely profitable In Ger
many before the war, should not be equally
successful in the United States. Governmental
CO cooperation will be needed, and when it has
been given American manufacturers will be
able to meet the demands of the home market.
