Chile has frequently been dis
mayed by the fear that her supply
Of nitrate might become exhausted.
This would mean not only a dis
turbance Of chemical conditions in
all parts of the world, but also a
disastrous fall in the income Of the
Chilean government, which for the
last forty years has placed a tax on
the export of this natural product.
From this tax Chile has derived be-
tween three and four hundred mil
lion dollars in gold since 1880, with
out taking into account the revenue
from iodine and from the sale Of
