Showing total cost of S6,739.97 for
-, 30 bushels of salt landed in Bath
exclusive of the import duty. The
cost per bushel Is small fraction
under twenty cents. The tariff of
eight cents per 100 pounds increases
the total cost TO about twenty five cents
bushel.
Our home manufacturers of salt pro-
test that they cannot maintain them
selves with foreign competitors except
by the protection of tariff which adds
20 per cent. to the cost of foreign salt.
And yet it is fact, as disclosed by the
report of the United States consul, that
the original cost of seven and half
cents bushel for salt on Turks island
is increased to twenty cents, by the
natural charges of transportation be-
fore reaching n port of this country.
The home manufacturer thus has an
advantage equal TO more than IL cents
n bushel, without the addition Of an
import tax of 20 per cent. The ques-
ton that boldly intrudes itself upon
consumers of salt is something like
this: If salt can be profltably pro-
duced at cost of seven and half
cents bushel on Turks island, why
cannot it be made in this country with
equal profit at twenty cents? Is the
difference In the cost of manufacture
the difference between the wages Of
salt-workers in The United States and
salt-workers in Turks island? or is it
the difference between the profits de-
manded by American salt manufac-
turers and foreign manufacturers?
An incident of history shall serve to
embellish chapter in protection liter
, AZURE. In the Kanawha valley Of
West Virginia are rich salt springs
and by a generous provision of nature
there is in the same vicinity an mex
haustible supply of flowing gas. This
gas furnishes motive power to lift
, the salt brine into large tanks, and
4 supplies fuel for use in evaporatIng
e the brine. Under such favorable con
di.ions for the cheap production o.
salt, one would have thought that the
i public would not long be deprived o
e the resulting benefits OF a reduction o
:. the price of salt. But so thinking h,
l. will find himself in error. The sal

Wonderful.

From the Pittsburgh Dispatch, Sept. 25th, 1880.
every seldom do we read of an actual
case of recovery, where hope had alto
gether been lost, to parallel that which
was Monday investigated by Dispatch
reporter, who had heard in various quar-
tiers persons talking to their friends of a
cure, seemingly little short of marvellous,
that had been performed. The plain facts
in the case referred to, without exaggera-
ton, are these, as they were learned from
the mother of the young man, his. pastor
and other persons we'll known in The COM
y munity:
William Lincoln Curtis is the name
OF the young man in question. He is now
employed at IL. K. Porter & Co.'s loco
motive works in Pittsburgh, Pa. A year
ago he resided with his mother on Grant
street. About that time he went to bed
one evening with violent pain in his
shoulder, the result, he thought, of cold.
The next morning the shoulder was
greatly swollen, the pain was intense, and
aches were felt all through his system.
His case was speedily developed into
violent form OF chronic rheumatism,
among the first notable features of which
was the paralysis of his left arm.
"He gradually grew worse, and in few
months the elbow and knee joints and
both ankles became enormously enlarged.
In March last the check bones began to
enlarge, and upon his left side particu-
larly, spreading his face out OF all resem-
blancc to his former self. The pain in all
ms joints became intense; fever, with its
deteriorating effects, was now added, and
he became rapidly reduced to the semblanc of
skeleton, while vitality reached its lowest
possible condition, and his sufferings were Of
such an indisc ibablc character that those who
most loved him sometimes thought it would be
better 1t he was called away. AT this time
physicians well known in Pittsburgh in formed
his parents that they could give no hopes Of
rccovcrys
"Thc young man finally commenced taking
that wonderful medicine, PERUNA. In two
weeks quite change for the better, was per-
ccptiblc. In six weeks all the enlargement had
been reduced completely, while in spirits and
ever been in his ifc. Nearly three weeks ago
he resumed work nachinist ut his old place,
able TO perform much labor rs ever in his life
/" The mother of Willie Curtis, in stating all
these facts. said: Indeed, I can not look upon
the cure much less than miracle. I do not
hesitate in sounding the praise of PERuNA, and
In recommending II to all my friends', -.
The pastor of the church where the young
man attended Sabbath school was visited, and
he readily confirmed the facts of the dcformed
bones. the emacated condition from disease,
and of the doctors having given him up. He
was greatly surprised at his Improved condition.
S,id he, If he had not spoken, would not
have known him.'' ts y
