SALT.-INDIA.

REPORT OF THE SELECT COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO IN
QUIRE INTO THE SUPPLY OF SALT FOR BRITISH INDIA.

Your committee have carefully considered the evidence
which has been brought before them, both oral and docu-
mentary, are of opinion, that the evils usually incident to a
Government monopoly in a great article of consumption are
not wanting in the working of the salt monopoly in India ;
and they have not been convinced, by any evidence that has
been submitted to their consideration, that the same amount
of income which has been hitherto derived from the mono-
poly might not be collected, with equal security to the re-
venue, and great advantage to the consumer and to com-
merce, under a combined system of Customs and Excise.
Aware, however, that the safety of such a change must,
in a great degree, depend upon local circumstances, of
which they may not be in full possession, and unwilling in
the existing state of the finances of India to recommend
positively any measure which might possibly endanger any
portion of the revenue ; in deference also to high Indian
authorities, who dispute the practicability of a system of
excise in that country, your committee are not prepared to
go further at present on that point than to call upon the Go-
vernment to give to it the most serious and early attention.
They submit, however, with confidence, the following
recommendations :

That the Government do abolish the system of public
periodical sales, and do keep their Golahs at all times open
for the sale of salt, at the cost price, in quantities not less
than 100 maunds, the purchaser to pay, in addition, a fixed
duty on removing the salt from the Golahs.

The salt manufactured in any country other than the
districts subject to the Bengal monopoly may be imported
into Calcutta, and may be sold at such times as the pro-
prietors may please, in quantities not less than 100 maunds ;
and that such salt, on being removed, do pay the same
duty as that sold by the East India Company, and no other
duty or charge whatsoever, except a fair and reasonable
rent on such salt as may have been bonded.
That the duty to be imposed shall be fixed at the lowest
rate consistent with the maintenance of the revenue, and
not exceeding the average rate of the net profit of the Com-
pany's monopoly for the last 10 years.
If these recommendations are fully and fairly carried out,
they will, in the opinion of your committee, reduce the mo-
nopoly of the Company to one solely of manufacture, and de-
stroy the sub-monopolies which have necessarily accompa-
nied the existing system. The difficulties which have hi-
therto stood in the way of a fair competition between native
and imported salt being thus removed, they hope that a
wholesome and important trade from Madras to Ceylon
may be encouraged ; and that British commerce may be no
longer shut out from the advantage of conveying a cheap,
good, and bulky article of British produce to a distant por-
tion of the globe.

Your committee cannot conclude without expressing their
conviction, that, however modified the monopoly may be, the
evils of the system can never be totally eradicated but by its
extinction ; and, entertaining a strong opinion that the in-
terests of the consumer and the revenue will ultimately be
best secured by a considerable reduction of the duty, under
a system of free competition, they repeat the expression of
their hope, that the Government will not neglect to give
their early and serious attention to this important object.
