Dii foul, head of the Kimpowder IniMt. The hitter is Henry
Ford, builder of the h'ord automobile. It is tioedless to stiy
that, the biiHinesM mnii's enmpai,rn is in the interest of
Du Pont -not in the interest of JVrd.
What kind of a patriot is this powder IciiiK? His con
cern has a monopoly of the manufacture of smokeless pow
der for America by international agreement a monopoly
legalized by grace of the Taft administration. It has been
selling the government its powder since the civil war at
twice the price the government could have manufactured
it. It maintains a strong lobby at the nation's capital,
employing former congressmen and retired army and navy
officers to protect its monopoly of government sales.
Under the international agreement, made in 185)7, as set
forth in the suit brought to dissolve the trust, the Du Pouts
bound themselves not tibcut prices against Kuropcnn fac
tories. The world was syndicated and partitioned between
the powder makers and competition eliminated. Not only
this, but the secrets of improvements made in powder by
United States government experts were transmitted to
the (ic rmaii powder makers, who are under supervision of
the (ierman government, and reports made to the German
concern of all powder purchases by the United States gov
ernment. Here are the clauses from the agreement with
the United liheinisch Wcstphaliaii Gunpowder Mills:
'IVnIli -Tliut any and vtry Improvement umii anld iiioccaa or olllicr of
them inmlt" hy cither of tho itartlea hereto at any lime hereafter ahull forth

I'nlted Htnlea or any other onutrauilng iwrly or pallida, atalluK In dolMll
iiuautlty, prlctt, (line of delivery and all of llto tvqulromouta that tho jhiw-
tier called for In auoli eoiitiact, Ima to iiililll.
Through this agreement the German government knew
to a pound the powder the I nited States government had
in reserve. And, of couisc, Du Pont is a loud advocate of
"prepaifdness." All such patriots are.
So much for the business candidate's patriotism. His
business ability is shown by his financial transactions.
y the sworn testimony of the Du Ponts in the govern
ment dissolution case, their concern, before the present
war, paid IS per cent dividend upon $flf),()00,(X)0 of wat
ered capital and created, in addition, a surplus fund of
l(i,(.HH),0(M). They were able to do this by selling powder
at extortionate prices through their monopoly. This fin
ancial history of the concern was thus related before the
congressional cemmittee:

This was afterwards increased to $o5,(K)0,tX)0 of com
mon stock, making the total capitalization !?lKUMH),lKH).
The preferred stock represented the property, holdings
aud assets of all descriptions aud put on the market at $70

was water.

Mr. Ford also is no slouch in finance and knows how to
irrigate his stock issues but he is disqualified because lu

bales another portion to his patrons, lie advocates single
