sait--Saginaw VS.. Onomdasa.

Our attention was yesterday called to
q long advertisement which appeared a
day or two since in the editorial col
umns of a city paper, gratuitously in
serted Of course and signed by the agent
of the Onondaga Salt Company, in which
exceptions are taken to our remarks on
the salt trade, contained in Saturdays
Times. We alluded in that article to
the large demand for salt likely to be
made upon this market, much larger
than has ever been in any former year,
and ventured to suggest that in order to
prevent the advance Of prices to an I'M.
usually high figure the business men Of
Chicago suould take steps to increase
the supply Of Saginaw salt, thus causing
this market to be beautifully supplied
For this we are taken to task and round.
abused by the agent of the Onondaga
Salt Company, who seizes the opportu-
niry to puff his salt before the commu-
nifty, and insists that Onondaga is able
20 furnish the Northwest with salt and
ought to be allowed to do so, and that
our article was uncalled for and our re-
marks in favor of Saginaw very unjust,
malicious, &c, &c., TO himself and COM
pany. This together with the pgfing is
the real point Of his article.
We are Just as much in favor of the
extension Of tho Saginaw works now as
we were before the above noticed adver-
tisement appeared. The Onondaga Co.,
through its agent, has, until very recent
" held monopoly of tho salt trade Of
this city. There was little OF no compe-
tition to fear, and its transactions have
been, until quite lately, characterized by
an overbcaring insolence that has won
for its agent the hearty i'll will Of large
number Of our most prominent commits.
sion mon. lie was able to place his price
upon an article which lie alone was able
TO furnish, and if anybody protested
against the cxtor,;on he became as inn
pudent aud saucy as the boy in the apple
tree while the old man pelted him with
grass. The Saginaw company, howev-
er, have been throwing few stones at
him lately, and he has consequently been
compelled to come down" If it were
not for Saginaw the Onondaga Salt Co,
would now be selling salt in this market
at about go SO per Dbl. instead Of $3.50
For this reason we go in for the extern
sion Of the Saginaw works. a monopo-
ly in the salt trade ought not to be toll
Grated, aud il won't be. The Saginaw
salt is in high favor with oil who have
used it, aud, as the sources from which
it is drawn are almost boundless, there
is no reason in the world why Ononda-
GA should not find in Saginaw a compel
itor able to keep her down to reasonable
terms. 1t may be, as the agent remarks,
that Saginaw is not under the strict
surveillance of the officers Of law" as is
Onondaga, but we doubt not that when
ever Saginaw is found TO need such swre'l-
laass she will get it. The Onondaga
Salt Company would do well, il it cares
Cor its agent here to let the customers
of our commission merchants alone, and
not TO interfere too much with business
that does not legitimstely belong to him.
