REDUCTION op CANAL Tolls on SALT.-Afer
due elaboration. the Canal Board, some days since,
decided upon reducing the canal tolls on foreign
salt, from five TO three mills per thousand pounds.
This reduction, however, has not pleased the salt
manufacturers al Syracuse, who, accordingly, pc
titoned the Canal Board, to put back the duty to
five mills.
There is no earthly reason why the manufactu.
rers Of salt in Syracuse should object to the reduc-
ton Of the tolls foreign salt passing TO the wes.
by the way Of the Erie canal. Their interests are
at all affected by the importation OF foreign salt
In the first place, il is SO much more expensive
than the article which they produce, that it does
not come in competition with them, there being a
duty Of twenty per cent and upwards on the for
eign article and secondly, Syracuse salt cannot
be used for the purposes TO which foreign salt is a
plid, and for which il is imported. The beef and
pork Of the west for expectation, and for the
use Of the army and navy, must be cured with for.
eign salt, and not pound less would be used il
the toll five mills per thousand pounds, instead
Of three. The only effect Of an increase OF toll
would be 10 compel importers to select some other
route than the Erie canal, and this would deprive
the State OF the toll which is Row paid.
We are willing, however, that the salt manufac-
,urers at Syracuse should be heard on the subject,
