Very Foolish Talk.

Some newspaper talk In this country,
which Is very foolish Of itself, about the
formation Of IL salt trust, has been seized
upon by some OF the more reckless Free
trade organs as an opportunity to a''nck
the tariff. That was to be expected,
because in the eyes Of these admirers
Of the English system all the Ills that
Acsh is heir to are the direct result Of
the taritf. But they could hardly expose
their Ignorance more effectively than il
on the tariff Free trade England, with
Its vast deposits of salt, has had such a
trust for many years. This has at tines
divided enormous profits. Fslk's salt
circular, the best English authority on
the subject, stated not long ago that salt
was freely offered at 20 per cent below
cost for shipment to this country
This WAS for the purpose Of discourag-
ing and crushing out the manufacture
OF salt in the United States, or
else Of forcing American dealers
to join hands with the English salt Mon.
A salt trust to control the market in the
way 1t ia done in England Is impossible In
this country. The Protective tariff, in
developing the industry to so large an ex-
tent, has made it impossible for any COM
bina; lion to raise the price beyond what
would afford small profit to producers.
The Free Traders had better not under

The Future OF Alaska.

A work of great value to the capitalist,
the political-economist, the statesman. the
ststistician is soon to be published by the
distinguished author aud traveller. Mr.
Maturin NJ. Ballou Of Boston. This ia to be
an account of recent journeys in Alaska,
with notices of the great natural resources
of that country. The extent of Alaska,
which according to Mr.. Ballou has n wen-
dcrful future before it when its resources
become developed, is but little appre-
eiated. IL Is twelve times as large rs the
State of New York, and more than seventy
times as large ~ the State OF Massa-
chusetts, Astounding in all kinds Of ami
nal life, and with climate by no means
so frigid and forhi,iding as is the general
~ conceived idea of that country. But
the great wealth is in the minerals, of
which Mr.. Ballou says, 'Gold quartz
lodes are SO abundant In the Territory
that ii is not squestion where to lind them,
hut as to which will best pay to open aud
to work. The Treadwell mine on
Douglass island has the largest
gold quartz crushing mill In the
world, running 2to stamps day and night.
This mill, 1t is estimated, will send s2.-
oOo worth of pure gold to the mint a, San
Francisco during the present year. and it
has been successfully worked at about
this rate for nearly three years. 1t is
owned by less than doxon very rich
men of San Francisco and elsewhere,
and consists of mountain of
collaborating quartz, which could
not be exhausted at at the pres
ent consumption of the mill In hun
dred years. There is no shafting or tim
bering required; every shovelnal Of the
rocky hill is passed through the mill as IL
is blasted from the mountain side. This
Is but one Of the mines. dozens are being
opened at different points"
All this is most surprising, but Mr.. |
Ballou assures rs that it Is not 30 marvel |
Gus As Is the question rs to what can be |
done with 80 much Of the prec:ou. metals
a. Alaska is capable Of furnishing to the |
country. Indeed no tabled tales Of the
Orient can exceed In wonder these
authentic descriptions Of the marvellous
resources Of Alaska, which Mr.. Balloa
unfolds to us. which he assures US are
correct. and the future development Of |
which Is sure to mark another era in the
