SALT.

"a CnIxl's AMONG Is, TAxIS' NorKs"
During the session Of the New York
Legislature last winter, an effort was
made to increase the duty paid by Onon.
daga Salt to the State, from one cent
per bushcl to two cents. 1t originated
with those, not engaged in the manu-.
facturc, who claimed that the State was
entitled to large income from it, in.
vcstmcnts in the Salt Springs, and that
the salt interest was profitable enough
TO pay the increased duty without hard
ship. 1t was strenuously opposed by tho
Salt Company of Onon1aga. The
friends of the Company allreel that the
imposition of the duty would cripple
the manufacturers, whose margin OF
profit was already small. They claimed
that the price of wood was increasing,
and also among other things, urged that
the recent developments in Michigan
had introduced formidable competi.
tor. They were so far successful that
action was deferred and the whole sub
ject was referred back Ia the standing
salt committee of the Senate, together
with a special committee of the House
to examine during recess and report ri
the next Session. Tho committee, IL

is moro important or more proftable.
Wells are going down and buildings are
going up, as though the angel of Alad

the hammer And by strange and for.
uhatc coincidence, as though Provi.
denee had specially designed to com.
bnc al the agencies required to build
Hp our new interests, the unfortunate
war that is working desolation over the
land, has produced n scarcity of salt,
through the agency Of the interruption
of southern works, that has carried the
price rapidly upward, till on the sth it
was quoted 1926 per barrel in Chicago
The natural consequence is that capital
is flowing into our Valley and eagerly
seeking investment.
The gentlemen Of the committee, by
personal examination ofworks, and also
by conference with individuals engaged
in the business, informed themselves
fully in relation to the salt business, and
their report, however it may be framed
will be looked for with great interest
and cannot fail to exert favorable in
iucnce upon the reputation of our Val
ley, for the opinion expressed was
uniform, that our natural advantages
were uncqual,cd. 1t only remains that
great caution and prudence should Ut
exercised, to guard this growing inter
est from abuses, likely to spring from
the excited state of the salt market
The scarity of Salt opens ready salt
to any production stampcd as in any dc
gree saline, and an anxiety to reallz
while navigation is open and prices high
will be very likely TO result in the sal,
of some salt, not properly manufacture
cd. In this view, the flush fall of e:
may lead us into errors, whose resul
will affect us seriously hereafter. come
The visit of the party from New
York called forth the cordial civilitic'
of gentlemen Interested in salt among
US, who, on Tuesday evening Of las
week, had the pleasure of entertaining
them at dinner given at the Bancroft
House. The occasion was one Of in

made it creditable to the Commissar,

cannot deny that we are consider adj
