a Barres . Year 70 Consumed for
Every Three Persons.
The United states consumes 26,ST2,-
100 barrels Of salt annually. or 4 bar
rel for every three persons In the
land. Last year It went abroad for
only I,151.f33 barrels. In 1850 CAS-
per cent Of the salt used In our coun-
try was Of home production. Last year
1857 per cent Of the product consumed
was produced within the borders OF
this country. In 1880 the consumption
In this country was only 9.3S4, o63 bar
rels. Thus we see that the people OF
the United States are using annually
three times as much salt as they used
twenty-six years ago.
Only 5.96i. 900 barrels were pro
duced IN this country In 1880. and the
consumers were forced TO so abroad
for 3.427. $50 barrels. Last year the
total production at home was 1906
IL barrels.
The chief salt-rroducing States are
Michigan and New York. Statistics
recently gathered by the government
show that the combined output OF these
two STATES amounts to more than tive
thirds OF the total production OF the
United States.
No attempt has ever been made 10

consumed In the United States Is used
