The advocates Of Free Trade have dwelt, at
different times, on the subject OF the tariff on Salt,
as affecting an article of daily and extensive con-
SUMPTION To their arguments, attempting to
show that the protective duties to encourage the
manufacture OF this important article have en-
hanced the price OF Salt brought from foreign
countries, we have on former occasions replied
that the price has not been increased in conse-
qucncc of the dates.


We are now enabled TO present the following
important statements, relative to the importation
and manufacture of Salt, and the effect produced
on prices, by the increased supply arising from
the competition Of our Domestic Manufactured
Salt, which from the nconslderable quantity made
previous to the last War with Great Britain, has
increased 50 that it now furnishes one half the
supply for the consumption OF the United States.
