APRIL 5 1906 Uncle Sam and The Powder Trust HERE about trust. now is talk at’ Washington blowing up the powder At any rate, the bills under consideration In gongress would have some such effect 38 this if enacted law, It has been stated on the floor of the house of representatives that the govern- ment in the power of a trust, so far as obtaining its supply of powder is concerned, and thai in case of a war it could not get enough powder for a prolonged campaign, as the plants pow in existence would not be able to V] into Is T. COLEMAN DU PONT provide 1. It has been the government should have a powder plant of its own, and this Is contem- plated In bills which have been Intro duced. Secretary Taft of the war de- partment has notified congress, how- ever, that | would not counsel the embarkation of the government in powder manufacture to such an extent as to drive from business the plants of a private character now engaged ln powder making. The institution commonly called the powder trust is the company known as E. I. Du Pont de Nemours & Co. The parent plant is in Delaware, but there are now other plants in various parts of the country. The history of this company dates back to the begin- ning of the nineteenth century, and the Du Pont family has bad a prominent part in the defense of the nation. The Du Ponts have borne themselves gal lantly in the fighting, and they have supplied powder to the government in 1e Rree Wars, drguea that | sembly. Thoukh he was a reroriner, he was conservative in his methods and | thus won the hostility of the revolu- { tlonists and only escaped the guillo- | tine through the death of Robesplerre After his house had been looted and his property destroyed by the mob he took refuge in this country, bringing with him his sons Victor and Eleuthere Irene, They landed at Newport in 1800, During the reign of terror the younger son, Eleuthere Irene, was in retirement at Essone, where the government pow der works were located, and there be came a student under the great chem- | ist Lavoissier and examined the proc esses by which powder was produced. This knowledge served him in good stead on arriving In this country. His attention was called to the bad charae- ter of the powder in use by the Ameri- can government, and he determined to establish a plant for manufacture of this much needed article, Thomas Jef- ferson Invited him to locate in Virginia, but on account of the existence of slav- ery in that state and also in Mary- land be chose Delaware instead and in 1802 brought models and machinery from France and set up the original plant on the Brandywine, A short time afterward the elder Du Pont, who had returned to France, assisted in the ne- gotiations which resulted in the trans- { fer of Louisiana territory to the United States. He remained In France until 1816, but died In 1817 at the family home near Wilmington, The great pow- { der making industry founded by B. L Du Pont has remained for a hundred years in the hands of the Du Pont family. When E. I. Du Pont died in ! 1834 he was succeeded as head of the business by his son, Alfred Du Pont, who in turn succeeded on his death in 1850 by his brother, General Henry D. Du Pout. His son, General Henry A. Du Pont, is perhaps the most distinguished living member of the family. He was a Union soldier in the civil war, was odrevetted four times for “distinguished services and gallantry in action” and won a congressional medal of honor, He claimed election to the United States senate from Dela ware in 1805, but was not seated owing to the famous factional contest which for several years has prevented Dela ware from having more than one repre sentative in the upper branch of con gress, He is one of of Edward 8.
