How the Farmer Gets Left.

If ever tax was imposed out of 'spure
cussedness" it is the tariff on common
salt. This substance is one of the prime
necessities of life. Man might possibly
find substitute for bread or meat, but
in some form or other he must have salt
for his blood, for his tissues, for his
brain, and all the secretions which help to
carry through the processes of digestion.
Salt is not only a necessity to man, but
one of the most important raw materials
used in manufacturing industries. 1t is
chiefly used in the United States by far
mers, meat packers and fish curers.
Farmers have multitude of uses for
salt. They place it in licking pans, to
keep their cattle and sheep in good
health. They sprinkle fodder with it.
Butter will not keep without salt, so
large quantities of it are used for this
purpose. Then every one knows that
cheese does not taste of salt for nothing.
The immense meat packing industries
of the west use very large quantities OF
salt in making compressed corned beef
and in other modes of preserving fresh
meat
Fishermen down east also use salt in
fish curing. Nota small quantity either,
since in the year 1886 they paid S126, 500
for it.
Large meat packers are very rich, and
powerful in 8 political sense. Nearly
all their preserved goods are exported.
In actual figures So, 339,077 worth of
canned beef products, and S2,617, 05S
worth of sailed and picked beef were
exported from the United States in the
year 1888.
But fish Gamers and meat packers
have apparently much greater pull
with the powers that be than farmers
have. Because, whereas the govern
ment, in the year ending June, 1887, col
lected 81 ABS, 031 duty on imported salt,
neither the meat packers nor the fish can
ners paid any portion of this tax, or else
had rebate of the amount which they
paid when their goods were exported.
OF the entire quantity of salt imported
into this country, at least two-thirds are
for the farmers uses. No matter what
price fine foreign salt is, the dairy farmer
who makes butter must apparently buy
it or suffer his butter to be classed
among inferior qualities.
Yet the farmer gets no rebate on &C
count of the salt IN the dairy products
which he exports out of this country.
The fish curer gets his salt free; the meat
packer gets a rebate of the entire duty
| and the farmer gets left.

The inter denOminational Sunday
school convention, held at Dodgeville,
on Tuesday Of last week, was far
more than an ordinary gathering
of Christian workers. 1t was COM
posed of representatives of the various
Protestant Sunday schools of Iowa
county, VINO discussed with earnest
ness and zeal, in a Christian spirit,
matters pertaining to Sunday school
work. There seemed to be an ardent
desire on the part Of those present to
deal with the essentials of religion,
and to come to a common agreement
upon the best means of extending the
influence of the Christian church and
Sunday school Although the del
egates present represented widely
different schools of religious thought,
there appeared to be more points of
agreement than disagreement among
them, and the sum and substance of
the Christian faith" the ten com
mandments, the apostles creed and
the Lords prayer" were adopted as a
basis of their unity. The work of the
convention was practical, and re-
suited in the complete organization of
the iowa county inter-denomina-
tional Sunday school association, the
election Of officers and delegates, as
published in an other column, and
the perfecting of a plan for more
thorough and efficient work. The
1uence Of such convention must be
for good in bringing Christian people
into closer communion with each
other, in the exercise of that charity
50 essentially necessary to Christian
progress
