Shail We Have Free SAFE

IA Reader" wants to know whether the
1NrELLIaRNcRR doesn't think that salt, at
least ought 10 be made free" that Is to say
imported salt admitted free Of duty.
AT digerent times and in different ways
the lSrELlIuRNcER has e~ndGavored to
make 1t clear that a sufficient duty ought
to be maintained on imported salt to en-
courage the domestic salt industry. II
the field were thrown open to competition
on equal terms, our salt industry could
not stand. Foreign salt is produced by
cheaper capital and cheaper labor, and as
vessel owners are glad to ballast with
salt, distance from the American market
is no protection to the American pro-
duCers.
Salt Is go necessary a commodity that II
isoftheg reatestimporta that wehayear
abundant, regular and cheap supply. Thil
We cannot have by depending on foreign
countries. We must encourage production
at home, not only because We ought al
ways To keep at home as much money OF
we can, but because war may at any time
interfere with the foreign supply, and be-
cause a large home production tends Il
keep down the price OF the imported ar
tiCle. Our imports Of salt are always large
and in the face Of these the American
producer could not II he would control the
market. The fact that salt was never SC
cheap as now explOdeB the theory Of a salt
monopoly.
In 1872 the salt duty was reduced,-sal
in bags, from "a cents per hundred pounds
to 12 cents, salt in bulk from IS cents Ia
8 cents. 1t was iondly hoped by those
who thought the consumer was paying
the TAX" that this considerable reduc.
tion'ot duty would be Of great advantage
10 tho consumer. Foreign producers pui
up the price Of salt and poCketed the dit,
terenCes. In 1873 the New York Cham
Der Of Commerce said in a report, 1.-THE
cost Of both ground and fine salt is higher
than IL was before the duty was redtCsd.h
For these and other reasons the lNrELLt.

The substitute for O'Neill's bill which
Is being pressed by Mr.. Glover, expressly
prohibits arbitration upon subjects alone
about which there Is controversy between
capital and labor. This can, therefore,
scarcely provide for q practical or sensible
adjustment Of the very question at issue
between the two great interests. The
West Virginia Congressman expressed
himself Throughout in q very conservative
manner. He not only appeared TO ,sym.
pathizs with the cause Of honest wage.
workers, but was in full sympathy with
those who invest their capital to deyelope
the resources Of the country and make II
possible for the laboring man 10 find EN-.
ployment. Both these interests, accord.
ing to him, should be protected. The
legislation should not be one.Bided. The
labor troubles should be settled by an In.
ter.state commerce commission, not in,the
interest OF either class, but in the interest
oil the public and In behalf OF the country.
Jay Gould, one Of the parties to the
great controversy, now going on In the
West, purchased the Missouri Pacific rail-
road for $3,00O,00O. He Immediately wa.
tered Its stock to $3O,00O,000 and then,
without adding anything TO the real value
Of the road, he demanded that what cost
him but $3,0OO,0OO should pay dividends
on $30,0OO,OOO of watered stock. This was,
Of course, done at the expense OF the la.
boring men on the road, and Is q strong
argument in favor OF the settlement ofthe
labor question onthe interstate commerce
theory. When the Government takes
hold Of that road and says to Jay Gould,
"You shall not charge the public exorbi:
tant rates for travel or freight 1t will
also say" "YOu shall not grind down the
laborers on your line"
While West Virginia Is fortunately free
from such evils as that which character.
ICES the Jay Gould, Hooking Valley anu
other similar organizations, 1t Is not Ger.
tain that 1t will always be in such an en-.
viable situation, and this legislation can.
not come too soon for one State.

The MORRISON BILL.

Its Auth Z Talks with the President, and Il

tinued the President
"And so am l." replied Mr.. Morrison. Every
thing, however, depends upon New York. You
and Mr.. Manning are anxious to have the bill
debated and passed, but you have failed to give
me solid delegation from your State, or, in
fact, such support as I should have had, in any
direction. l have Illinois in line, and every
Sucker Democrat will vote for consideration;
not one in my State will oppose it. have done
my part single handed, and wish you and Mr..
Manning could say as much. If the bill is not
taken up cannot help it,"
1t is understood that Mr.. Morrison does not
feel assured of success tomorrow, but, on the
contrary, expects defeat.

The Air Again Burdened with Rumors That

Special to the Indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON, June 16-The rumor is again
current that Mr.. Sparks. Commissioner of the
General Land Office is about to retire, but there
seems to be no basis for this rumor beyond the
desire of the people most interested to get him
out Sparks has made an arrant fool of himself
since he has been iLtrusted with the control of
insane act whereby he attempted to repeal sew
eral of the laws of the United States on his own
authority, capped the climax Of his asininity.
Although he has been repeatedly set down upon
by those in higher authority than himself, and
has been most persistently snubbed by Secretary
Lamar and his late assistant, Mr. Jencks this
resigning stage The trouble is that he has
little chance to earn as much money anywhere
else as the government pays him, and he will
not throw good thing over his shoulder as long
as there is possibility of his hanging on. He
is a man whose head has been frightfully swelled
by the responsibilities of his Office, and he has
endeavored to make for himself national repu-
tation by his conduct of the Land Office, hoping
to create the impression that he is unearthng
many frauds, and has done the country enor
nous service. During the last year the settlers
in the Northwestern Territories have been more
harassed and annoyed through the absurd posi-
tons taken by the Land Commissioner than they
ever have before in the history of the govern
ment. Still, this man has made easy-going
Lamar believe that he has done nothing, except
for the good of the country in general, and he
will probably continue to hold his place for some
time to come. in spite of the protests of the peo
