This I am advised was done yesterday when the House of Representatives at Washington passed the tariff bill putting a tax of ten per cent on sulphate of am monia. My understanding that the ten per cent is an ad valorem tax which, at the present price of sul phate, would be over $6 a ton, and would be fully as much if not more than the old Republican tariff of 30 tents per hundred pounds, which was knocked out of the Payne-Aldrich bill and became a law in August. 1909, since which sulphate of ammonia has been on the free list. "You must know about the in-< creased production in this country and that this infant industry has greatly prospered in four years of free trade. The fertilizer manufac turers ought to protest to our Rep resentatives, both in the House and in the Senate, against this tax whicn is directly against the farmer, and the Democratic party, having pledged itself to revise the tariff and bring about cheaper cost of living, is de liberately adding to the cost if they tax sulphate of ammonia.
