Mr.. Crawford has introduced several inn
portant bills in the House, and among them
bill 10 prevent the payment of more than
one tax on the same property in same year,
and to require persons to pay the tax on
land they sell, as long as they hold the title
or lien on same, but exempt the notes
given for the purchas money from taxa
ton.
This is equity and justice and we
hope will become a law As required
now by statue (lf the decisions of the
Auditor and Attorney General are cor
rect,) whenever real or personal prop
erty is sold, and note taken from the
purchaser the tax is doubled. The vendor
must give in his note, and the vendor or
vendee must pay on the property, when in
fact not cent has been added to the wealth
of the state. Under this construction of
the statute, if horse worth hundred dol
lars was traded on a credit half dozen
times prior TO the 1st of February, the tax
books should show seven hundred dollars
assessed for that one animal, and in this
county with the present rate of taxation,
the Sheriff would be required to collect

HoME-MADE SALT,

The annual consumption of salt in the
United States is about 40, 0OO,O 900 bushels
nearly one bushel per inhabitant. OF this
amount about 80, 0OO,OOO bushels is home
made. Most Of our salt is made from the
Michigan wells (18,OOO,00O bushels), the
Syracuse wells q, SOC, 900 bushels). and War
saw, N. Y. The latter locality has only been
worked two years, but bids fair to compete
with the Michigan wells and rival or eclipse
the famous Syracuse wells.
The Warsaw wells have the richest and
purest brine in the United States. Seawater
requires 800 to $50 gallons to the bushel Of
Sc lbs; Kanawha, West Virginia, 70; onOn-
daga New York, 80 to As; Saginaw, Michi-
gan, Is to 80; the Warsaw WELL 20 gallons to
the bushel At Syracuse and Warsaw the
expense for fuel is the same anthracite coal
dust at $1.65 per ton-bht the strength Of
Syracuse brine is 66 to 100 as compared with
Warsaw brine, making the cost of fuel 20
cents per barrel at Syracuse as against cents
for Warsaw. The Warsaw wells, moreover,
are on private land and pay no tariff
to the State of New York, while every bushel
taken from the Syracuse reservations pays the
State half cent, the duty being one cent
bushel before the Warsaw borings proved
success. AT Saginaw the fuel is the refuse of
the lumber mills and the exhaust steam from
the Same mills-a fuel which costs next to
nothing now, but is not likely to be per
manent supply. As to chemical purity,
analyses made of the manufactured article by
DR. baltimore, of Rochester, show the War
saw salt to run to SO per cent. Of pure salt, as
against 96 per cent. of Michigan salt, and 81
per cent. of Canada salt from Goderich, On
tario
The great use of salt in the United States
is mainly due to our extensive dairy and meat
packing business. But, in the industrial arts,
we have as yet scarcely turned any of our
home resources to account; this is notably so
Of the manufacture Of soda and soda ash.
Soda is used in soap-making, bleaching, dye
ing and glass making, and as both soda and
soda ash are made from salt, common
salt is the real foundation of the manufacture
of soaps and glass throughout the world. The
manufacture of soda ash from the salt also
produces muriatic acid, which has manifold
uses in the arts. Soda ash has been imported
to the value Of millions yearly, England turn
ing one half of her entire salt product, over
18, 900, 900 bushels, into soda ash It is found
that the Warsaw brine is strong enough to be
used directly without sailing or chemical
treatment The success of the soda ash and
muriatic acid industry in the Wyoming val
ley would make the United States independ-
ent of Europe in regard to those commodities.
The duty on salt is 8 cents per hundred, or
% cents on package of 28O pounds. The
price of salt has dropped from $1.80 barrel
in 1860 to 70 cents in 1882, and is now quoted
at 81 in car lots. To remove the tariff
would ultimately raise the price, shut down
home industries and allow foreign capital to
make the money that both natures liberality
and our own interests demand should be kept
in the United States.
