and the pork call for the salt. The
slop of the swine and the food of
the poultry and the bread of the
dog are the better for salt. The re-
publican party has done what has
not been heretofore done in Amer
lea or in Europe since 1889, when
the French peasantry, partly be-
cause of the intolerable tax on salt,
rose in avenging wrath and de-
throned the Bourbon king.
"These monarchs had compelled
the people to buy seven pounds of
salt yearly for each member of the
family, and to pay 10 cents a pound
for it.
when our people learn that the
republicans have taken salt from
the free list and taxed it. woe unto
that party"

Fantastic as it may sound, the
movement has impressed itself upon
responsible officials so thoroughly that
lengthy reports have been forwarded
not only to our own state department
at Washington, but to the chancellor

nations interested in central European
affairs.
The writer has seer an official ca
blegram more than a thousand words
long reporting to Washington on an
aspect of the movement. This is men
toned to indicate that it is regarded
seriously by the highest officials.
An interesting aspect af the move
ment is that it is being supported by
certain adults of GerniJny and Aus
tria. College professors, leading So
~cialists and others of a liberal tend
ency are giving it public encourage
ment. This has resulted in a charge
that the innovation has been stimu-
lated by the old military regime as a
device to escape payment Of the repa-
rations and that, in reality, the old
German idea is skulking behind the
frocks of children. However, the in
v%estigations which have been made
find no foundation for such a charge.

A curious and most interesting
price chart is published by the Iron
Trade Review, showing the rise
and fall of prices since 1910. 1t
shows that during the Napoleonic
wars prices went up nearly as high
as they did during the world war
and higher than they did during the
civil war in this country. The
period of lowest prices during the
century was during 1890 and 1900.
With these statistics before him
any man may figure out roughly
for himself whether his wages are
higher or lower than they were be-
fore the war.

H A ON SALT


The poor man must have it. The
rich mar must have it. Every N
must have it. Because that is SO
kings and emperors and even black
chiefs of tribes in Africa have
chosen a salt tax as a al OF
raising The oppressive
tax levied on salt by the Bourbon
kings was one cause of the French
revolution. That incident sort Of
scared kings from taxing salt in
most countries. But the repub-
lican party has taken salt from the
free list and put a heavy tariff on
it. Senator Smoot is an influential
member of the senate finance COM
mittee and Utah has lots Of Salt.
He would like to see the price of
salt higher, and therefore a tax on
foreign salt is imposed.
Senator Tom Watson of Georgia
is a good deal of a demagog. We
do not put much weight on what he
says as a general rule, but he GER
tainly flayed the republican party

salt tax. We find his remarks
printed in the Congressional Rec
ord as follows:
"And salt! / should like to have
somebody tell me what article of
food can dispense with salt, from
the soup to the walnuts and the
wine? The wine having been abol-
ished by our genial friends on the
other side, the salt is now confined
to the walnuts; but if you are wise
you take salt with your pecan nuts,
your almond nuts, your hickory
nuts, your peanuts and your wal
nuts. No fresh meat may be used
without salt; no meat can be cured
without salt; no fish can be kept
without salt.

warm the hands of the sick and aged,
and the wooden socks that keep
warm the feet Of those who have
been chilled by the growing years.
Yet the sheep have to have salt, and
the majority propose to tai salt.
Of course, the tax on salt is passed
on to the sheep, passed into the
wool. and passed into the palace of
the rich and the cottage of the
poor. And he calls himself a
statesman; and he says that it was
