The Tarifr ON SAT-.

A Firm of salt dealers in Philadelphia
have. issued circular in which they
prove from official figures that the tariff
7on salt has grown 70 be an unsavory
matter with the taxpayer: that while
the people of the United States consu-
med, in 1870. thirty six million bushels
of salt, they have heeh obliged to pay
twenty cents per bushel extra for it, on
account OF the exorb:tant duties levied
upon it. If the GoyerrmerG were the
benefited party nobody wouldcomplain; /;
but the statistics presented, taken MAIN
ly from the reports Of the Treasury De-
partment, show That, Of the $1,000, 600,
extra price paid for salt by the consu-
mer in 1870, The Government receiced
less than 81, ,200.00 as revenue, ,chile the
salt monopolists received more than S..
100000 as tribute from the people, to
swell their profits on the manufacture of
salt.
These facts are too plain to require
further argument. The duty on salt ay-
erages nearly 200 per cent. We are free
to say that nine-tenths Of the people OF
the United States beleye that it should
be repealed at once.

As to the result of the Connecticut
State election, which takes place on the
first Monday in April, letter from
Hartford, the Capital says after a
lengthy resume of the situation:
"Thus it will be readily noticed that
in Congressional elections especially the
prospects of the Democrats are very
encouraging. With two districts in
their hands, another with only a small
majority against them, and fourth still
hanging in the balance, they certainly
have no cause to complain. The indi-
cations of their carrying the State tick
ct are equally favorable, and between
now and April, even if the campaign Is
a quiet one, they will surely be careful
that no advantage is lost"
