TARIFF on SALT.-Earons causes are com
bnng TO injute, we fear seriously the nlannfac-
ture Of Salt in the central part Of this State, which
has heretofore proved source Of such profit to
the State and of labor and consequent comfort to
thousands Immediately engaged in its various
branches. 70 some extent this may be owing to
the compIaints. which Of late are loud and fre-
quent, Of the quality Of The article often sen, out
sro,n the Onondaga WORKS but much more Of the
difficulty may be attributed 70 a lack of efficient
Protection and to the siagnutionn business brought
about in this State By tic bcnumbing influence Of
the Loco-t oco policy. We see that already foreign
salt is coming in by way of the St. Lawrence in
large quantities. a correspondent of the Albany
Advertiser says, lhat large amoun, has recently
arrived III Kingston--destined mainly fer markets
on the upper lakes, while large quantity OF New
York salt lies at Oswego waiting market, which
it cannot find The Canadians have the advantage
of US in this trade, in consequence Of their being
able to send wheat, bought ia the States, to Eng
land as Provincial grain-thus escaping the heavy
dn,ies which British Free Trade imposes upoa
foreign grain. They thus pay much higher
price in the Western States for grain for cx.
portation than our own millers aGord to give.
Salt is for them very convenient ballast their
upward trips-so that they preparing to sup
ply all orr Western grain-growing country with
this indispensable commodity. New-York is thus
made double loser being deprived at oace of the
salt duties and Of the canal tolls on this Western
wheat. Our Provincial neighbors are prosecuting
their improvements of the St. Lawrence with great
energy and rapidly: and as the Advertisers
respondent suggests, vessel may soon take car
go Of salt Liverpool aud, dischargng it at Chca
so return with load of wileat-thus effectually
destroying market for salt, which we can pro-
ducc in unlimited abundance, and draining our
Treasury of the tolls on the exported grain. More
thaa half the Syracuse salt-works are now lying
idle from this very cause 1t is, of little to
suggest desirable legislation, SO long as we are
under the yoke of selfish tyrant whose Will is ac-
clentally the Law Of the land.
