Salt.

Apopos TO remarks made several times il
this paper of late, as well as on former
occasions, in regard TO the monstrous duty
on this article of prime necessity to rich and
poor, we quote the following significant
passage from the speech of ex-Com missioner
of the Revenue, Mr.. Daniel A. Wells, made
at the great revenue reform meeting in New
York, on Monday evening last:
In 1867 we had before the committees
of Congress the representatives Of the
Syracuse salt interest, demanding that the
tax on the salt-eighteen and twenty-five
cents per bushel-be raised twenty. I've and
thirty, and they said unless it WAS done thai
great interest would sink, and l afterwards
found that, at the very time these allegations
were made, that company we're dividing IL
per cent. every other month, and making
stock dividends which have carried up It's
capital in the space often years from $500,
900 to $l,250 600"
The average cost of foreign salt oeing
eight cents per hundred weight, the duty az
Is cents per 225 per cent, which as has
been before remarked in this paper, is so far
prohibitory as to be fast driving foreign salt
from the market. 1t seems by the state
ment of Mr.. Wells that the operation of this
process was not quite rapid enough for the
syracusau monopolists, who wanted final
turn OF the screw which should secure them
from sIl possibility of competition. Hence
they went to Washington with lie in the
right hand and made the swindliog repre-.
sensations exposed BY Mr.. Wells

II costs but little to construct an ice house

er's family, even if q large dairy is to be
taken into account. If good water for ice
cannot be obtained near the homestead, it
will pay to construct pond for this purpose
if sufficient pure water to fill it can be made
available. By sinking q we'll and erecting a
windmill'for raising the water an Abundant
supply can be obtained. A house ten
by ten and eigh: feet high constructed
with the walls aud roof double, the spaces
filled in with sawdust, will hold ice enough,
if sufficient drainage be provided. The
larger the body of ice is the longer it will
keep. A house twelve by twelve or even
fifteen by fifteen, will preserve ice for a
period in proportion to the dimensions
The first ice of the season, provided it is
thick enough, is considered the best by
experienced ice men.
