Salt on the Free List

Salt on The Free List Senator Cor
man on Monday last, presented petition from
dalrymen, dealers IN, and consumers Of d j.
ny products at Harris Lot, this county, ask
ing to place salt on the free list. The petit
ton states only the best English salt can be
used ia the dairy. The revenue derived from
the duty on salt is not needed by the govern
ment they claim, and the rate Of tariff neither
affords protection to American salt rcduers or
improves the condition of the salt. They
add that au effort is being made to form big
salt trust and Increase the duty. 1t was
signed by a. T. lloyd and Others.
