sides large amount of tolls to the State for
transportation on the Canal. The amount of Salt
Duies paid into the Canal Fund, from 1917 to
July Is, 1896, was S2,055.455. Since that
time, and up to January, le44, there has been
paid into the General Fund of the State, from
this source, (instead Of the Canal Fund about
1915, 600 over and above all expenses, which
added to the above, makes S2,930,45S as the
amount derived by the State from the Salt Duties.


The millions which have been received hv the
State and the United States from datics on salt,
the Free Traders would have thrown away,
leaving prices probably with little if any reduction
from the old rates, when we were dependent on
foreign countries for supplies of this indispensa-
bic article.

BY an Act passed in April, 1913, the State
gives bounty on Salt when delivered at Tide
Water on the Hudson, or on the Lakes, at Buf-
falo, Oswego, sc. or on the Ohio and Indiana
Canals. In consequence of this act, 9OS, ,943
bushels were delivered at different points last year
entitled TO bounty of Sal, 1904, but still produc-
ing gain to the State Revenues Of about S50,-
900. OF this quantity of Salt, 1868 bushels
came to Tide-Water, against l56, 800 bushels last
year, while in 1884, only $500 bushels came to
Tide Water. The Superintendent of the Salt
Springs says, nhls report, that the system ofboun-
ties adopted "has had most salutary influence,
not only in reviving an important branch of IN
dlstry, and adding largely to the internal trade Of
the State, but has increased its revenues Ma
ture has been profusc in providing at this point
all the elements for the production of an unllml-
ted quantity of Salt, and in fact, it would be diff
cult to locate these Springs more favorably for
chcapness Of production, and where the conven-
iences of transportation to every desirable point,
are so great as those selected by nature


"Several establishments uhe Superintendent
and Inspector say) have been erected for the ex-
elusive purpose of drying and grinding Salt
From the extensive preparations that are making
for supplying this article, which competes so sue
ccssfuly in the Eastern markets with the Liver
pool Sack Salt we entertain doubt that from
one million to one and quarter million bushels
of Onondaga Salt will be sent to Tide Water the
coming season.
