THE SALT COMBINATION.

The average rate Of duty on salt last
year was 40. 92 per cent. How the bene-
ficiaries of this duty cheaper salt
through home competition is plainly
seen in the following Associated Press
dispatch:
Warsaw, N. Y, Jan. 30, 1s91.-At
the monthly meeting of the Western
New York State association held in
Rochester Thursday, every salt plant in
the field was represented Eratus
Winan, of New York, was present and
addressed the body He held that the
unlfying of the salt interest of this ter
ritory could now be accomplished. He
was positive that English money would
not be required now to float the stock
that would have to be taken.
Another Associated Press dispatch,
dated East Saginaw, Mich, Feb 5,
1891. says: "a majority of the salt
manufacturers of this state have agreed
to recognize and become members of
the Michigan Salt association in case
ninety-fve per cent. of those in the
state could be induced to do so'
Not only do the salt barons com bine
to kill domestic competition, while the
tariff cuts off foreign, but they actually
sell their salt in Canada, freight paid,
cheaper than any American wholesale
buyer can buy it for in Syracuse itself
Of this protected salt monopoly the
Chicago Tribune says:
The production of Michigan saline
industry for 1886 sold for about 80, 300,-
900, of which barely one-quarter was
paid out for wages at the pauper rate
of S. so per week, while the material
cost practically nothing, and the fuel
was obtained at the same easy rate.
Run in connection with the lum ber
mills, the refuse from those esta olish-
ments furnishes all that is wanted in
the shape of power for the driving of
same mill supply the material out of
which packages are made. The profits
realized on the average barrel of salt is
but trifie short of twice the sum paid
out for labor employed in transforming
the raw material into the finished
product
And the labor is of the 'paurer' or
der at that. A war of tariff protection
of 80 per cent on the product has re-
suited in the payment of the magnifi-
cent average of about S. so per week
during the eleven months of the year
that the works are in operation, the
men and the boys who receive this
compensation being mostly foreigners.
Only few natives are wanted, and for
aught that is known to the contrary
they are paid at the same rate of about
dollar day, at which the commonest
day laborer in this city would turn up
his nose in disgust Workers in this
and in all other places in the United
States are obliged to pay royal price
on all the salt they consume in order
that the salt barons may grow rich
while thus discouraging the working
man in his efforts to obtain a fair
days wages for fair days labor"
The only way to kill this salt combi-
nation is to take down the tariff bar
rier of so per cent Down with the
tariff and pulverize the com binations.

lister in the Portland district is 1920 this
year, while last year it was $685. In the
Augusta district the average salary is $675
but the Presiding Elder stated that some
salaries were as low as $500 per annum.
When 1t is remembered that the pastors of
Tue city churches are paid all the way from
Sl,OoO to $1,000 or even more yearly. it is
evident that many of the salaries must 90
below five hundred dollars year.
When we consider the character of the men
who compose the Methodist clergy in Maine
to-day, their intelligence, education, zeal.
and devotion. it must be conceded that they
are in no danger of finding it more difficult to
get into the kingdom of Heaven than it is
Tor camel to get through the eye CT a
needle. Compared with the situation of
other men, theirs may be classed as rather
hard, for it is not alone the salary which
must be taken into account. Manga man
VINO is living on a farm or working in mill
may say, II should be very glad to have $500
cash year and nothing to do but preach and
call about the neighborhood." But If the
farmer or the mill hand should stop to look
the matter over, he might hesitate. Would

pastor and then when he should become fit

three years term, he would find that the
ministers family" is expected to so order
its dress and its manner of living as to meet
the criticisms of churches that are always
more or less particular about the affairs of
their pastor For the minister to live up to
the expectations of his people will make
large hole in the purse of $500, that ordI-
narily would not be taken into account by
those who regard $500 year as a
large salary. Then there is the education
of his children, the providing of suitable
reading matter for them, and the other little
advantages which man of liberal education
himself properly wishes his children to en-
joy. When these things are all considered it
will appear to most people that the Metho.
dist ministers in Maine are not overpaid.
or course the true pastor does not work
for money, and if he does not complain
1t is rather a piece of officiousness for
Others to. But we have ventured to call at
tention to these considerations in order that
the people may better appreciate their minis

The immigrant inspector at Newport,

Canadians have been passing through snat

majority cine into the States under contract,
L1SSsugh The legal proof of the fact is not
easily attainable. The most of them come
from the vicinity of Quebec. OF course any
one Of these men who comes into the country
under contract is a violator of our laws and
liable to be sent back. AS matter of fact,
however, very few of them will go back until
they get ready. Whatever may be the fact
in regard to the enforcement of the contract
labor law..against immigration from across
the water, as regards immigrants from Can
ada it amounts to nothing; and to make it
amount to anything will require very large
number of inspectors along the border, sup
plemented by detective force in the princi-
pal cities of the Dominion; and even then
there will be great many evasions. The
difficulty lies in establishing the fact of a
contract.

The reports which come from Chicago of
quarrels among the managers of the fair,
and of strikes on the part of the workmen,
are not calculated to stimulate the country
to contribute literally in support of the ex-
hibition. One source of trouble seems to be
too many managers. The time is none too
long 10 get the exhibition in proper running
order at the date fixed for the opening, if
none is wasted. But if the managers are
going to continue to fight and the workmen
to strike, the prospect is that 1898 will see no
fair at all. or one that will be far from cred
table to the country.

Maine that they give to it general and appropri-
ate observance.
The identifying of school grounds. highways
and parks by the planting of trees and shrubbery.
and the promotion of forest growth and culture
is a work that may worthily engage the attention
Of all our people.
Especially should the lessons of this day he in.
culcated in our schools and institutions Of learn
ing that they may be early acquired by the youth
Of our state. In order that this may be done, 1
recommend that in so far as practicable the day
be observed by them as a holiday.
1t is to be hoped that the trees planted in Maine
upon this day may in their growth and spreading
branches be typical of the expanding Industrial
life and increasing prosperity of the state
Even though we may not ourselves live to enjoy
the fruits Of our lab1rs, they will surely be

More emphatic than the above which will
impress on you the fact that there is great
medicinal merit in Hoods Sarsaparilla?
If you suffer from any of these troubles,
ought you not to try Hoods Sarsaparllla, in
view of the great benefit it has been to 9TH
ers?
