THE VALUE OF SALT.
An Industry Ruined For the Purpose OF
Saving Six-tenths of Cent Per Capita.

Saving Six-tenths of Cent Per Capita.
The per capita consumption of salt,
for all purposes, i'll this country is Sc
pounds per annum. The Mckinley duty
was 81 60 ton. The Wilson German
Diners placed it ON the free list If the
consumers reap the whole benefit of the
81. 60 ton, it means saving to them
Of less than Il cents each, even should
they reap the benefit on the entire con-
sumption. In point of fact the duties
collected in 1891, the highest under the
Mckinley law, Were $40S, 790, or less
than six tenths of cent per capita.
To accomplish this saving of $409,-
100, the wages distributed in the Wy
oming valley saltfield alone fell off
$3.50, 900 in 1895 below the amount in
1891, while the railroads running
through that field lost $500, 600 and the
coopearge and cotton bagging industries
lost $435, 900 Here is loss in one salt
field alone of 81, 620,0 900, as against a
possible saving of S40S, 100.
And there are many other saltfields
in the country as productive as that in
and around Wyoming county, N. ",
which have suffered as heavily. The
item of labor i'll the salt plants alone III
this one field has been decreased by an
amount substantially equal to the duty
collected i'll 1891, and yet labor in the
salt plants suffered but fourth Of
the loss directly occasioned by free trade

WASHINGTON LETTER.


Every losing campaign has a
scapegoat, but he is not usually
trotted out until after election. In
reversing this custom and making
Synator Jones, OF Ark, chairman OF
the democratic national committee,
IA scapegoat before the campaign has
had a chance to get even fairly start
ed, the democrats let the cat out Of
the bag, and showed how hopeless
they consider the prospects of
Bryan, anarchy, reputation and
free silver. Whether Mr.. Jones
showed poor Judgment when he
gave that interview abusing the
populists, as charged by some of the
democrats, is a matter which does
not concern republicans; neither
does the democrats charge that Mr..
Jones has already proven himself to
be incompetent to manage as big a
thing as n presidential campaign.
When political platform attacks
common honesty, common sense and
our highest legal tribunal, as that
adopted ut Chicago does, no
amount of good management could
secure the election of candidates
who stand upon that platform. That
is why the astute and willy Senator
German has declined to take any
position of possibility in the
campaign; he won one national
campaign and he has no idea of los
ing the prestige thus gained by be-
coming partner Of senator Jones
III the scapegoat business.
Representative Apsley, of Mass,
vice-chairman Of the republican
congressional committee, has plan
ned a trip which will combine the
rest ana recreation which he needs
with The getting of valuable political
information for the committee. Ac-
eompanied by Representative Me-
Call, Of tile same state, he will travel
through Nebraska, the TIVE nakotas,
Washington, Oregon, California and
most of the middle western states.

his brutal officers refuse with oaths and
insulting words, if not worse
Over 300 refugees have come into
