He praised our free export policy: "We may well contrast this absolute freedom in our distribution [export] of raw ma- terials with discriminatory systems practiced by some other countries." (See BUSINESS: "Caoutchouc") He touched lightly on fickle female fashions. He gave no hope of higher tariff on cotton goods next December...
...this side of technical chemistry is receiving increasing attention as the large research laboratories of the General Electric Company and the Du Pont Powder Company and many similar smaller laboratories show. This research has led to such results as the discovery of carborundum, the artificial production of indigo and caoutchouc, the development of the coal-tar industry, the electrical production of nitric acid from the air, and the practical synthesis of ammonia from its elements...
...easily oxidized, are also available. Amalgams have come into use, and above all, very serviceable cements have been invented by German industrial chemists; and these cements imitate bone in appearance and in non-conducting power more closely than metals can. The discovery of vulcanite, an intimate mixture of caoutchouc with sulphur, was empirically made; but into the numerous uses of vulcanite in dentistry there enter many applications of chemical science and art. The progress of physics has furnished the dentist with new tools and apparatus of high value. The electric light prolongs his hours of labor and enables...
