In my humble opinion there is JUS, objection 10 tn
salt tax. lis equality is undeniable All consume
and pay proportion to their consumption the rich
use the most, paving the most. Its tendency moreover
is eqgalize the price of the article between the inhab
iasts q The board who marine or foreign sal
and tase Of the interior VIM thai of our salines
And the competition between 'le two descriptions
sure to keep the price within reasonable limits.
Wishing revival and long continuation Of the pros
peny OF the Salt manufacture of your town. and heall
