By WILLIAM JX. BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N. C. Thursday Evening, Dec. 11, 1884, EVENING EDITION; THE TAX ON SALT. Salt is a necessary of life. IJb one will deny it, and if he did he ought to go without salt all his days. The Republicans, in carrying: out their a, m crude ideas of political economy were pleased to lay a tax on this prime necessity of 98.37 per cent. In 18T2 the tax on salt was cut down 12 per cent., leaving it at 86.37 per cent. ; '- Is not such a tax an outrage? Every poor man uses salt. No fami ly can do without it fora d3yl Van derbilt, with his hundred 'millions and more, does not feel the tax on his salt of 86.37 per cent. The in terest on his great fortune for one second would pay for all the salt he uses in a year. But the man who works for $1 a day; or the needle woman who earns 25 or 50 cents a day feels every cent of tax that'is laid upon his or her salt . Mr. J. S. Moore, the political econ omist, in his able discussion in the New York Times ot "Wzr Taxes in . time of Peace," says in Number Ten of the series: "Daring the last 12 years, that is, from 1873 Jto 1884 inclusive, since we reduced the duty on salt, we collected from the Cus tom Houses in round numbers, $9,400,000 duty; we produced, on an average, $5,000, 000 worth of salt in the United States an nually, which is enhanced on account of the salt tax $1,500,000 per annum. The account therefore during the 12 years stands thus: ; Paid duties daring 12 years on foreign salt $9,400,000 Paid tax on home made salt, $1,500,000 dollars annually during 12 years. ........... 18,000,000 Total salt tax during 12 years. $27,400,000 "But large and enormous as this tax in the aggregate is it has still worse features in the back ground. If -we had free salt scores of now idle sailing vessels, those un fortunate sea tramps left from a once proud merchant maritime navy, could be employed to and from the West India Jslands to carry salt. We should further Jpe able to export more breadstuffs, salt ;fish, provisions, &c to' these poor , islands, : who are only too glad to-exchange their salt for our commodities. Free salt, cheap salt, is a great boon to the farmer, as I need not say how beneficial the use of salt is for occasional feeding purposes to cattle. Again, our salt provision industry has in creased most enormously, and an immense amount of salt is, of course, used in pick ling and curing meats, which in the aggre gate is a very large item. But the ab surdity and one-sided policy of this salt tax stands out stUl more glaringly when the salt for curing fish is admitted free of duty and the salt for curing meats has to nay 48 per cent, duty." 3, "If the tax" on salt was abolished' theU. S. Treasury, according to the figuresof Mr. Moore, would sustain a loss of $700,000 now derived from the tax, but it would lift the burden of $2,200,000 each year from the peo ple. But the Protectionist will insist that salt ought to be produced in the United States although it does tax the seventeen millions of laborers. - n England, where political economy is understood, they get their wines and grapes from Spain and Portugal and France, and in exchange send those countries some of the products of England which are much cheaper than those countries canVprodace. But let us hear Mr. Moore once more. He says: . : . "Free salt by no means implies the shut ting up of our home salt works, It will only shut up perhaps those poor paying works that even with this onerous duty on salt are unable to struggle along. And it comes to the same old often repeated policy of rais- ng oranges in New llampsnire. , ine pru ific and rich salt "weHs Kand works in the United States can . .ell withstand foreign nnmrtAtitinn RpaWns. the United States will always be iamQu lor'Tnaung iw i TV r- . - : x ; ... . 1& M i the use or dairy Turposes.

It will no longer pieaa tne Daoyact or cyiupinm of foreign pauper; salt' " e '"; THK SPANISH TBBAT1T.' The commercial treaty with Spain is aireaay provosing . muou uibvub- gion. It is said tb have a very posi tive influence upon tobacco and. sn-. gar, two things in which; the South is interested. The New York jnmiw says: ' - : - : ; : '7-;. . ;-? The treaty admits sugar in all its forms nn to No. IB Dutch Standard , (whic&.; is practically all) free of any duty whatever ana aanuis tODacco at oDe uiu uxo icui rates; except leaf tobacco, .more man iw to the pound, as to which the' treaty as transmitted is subject to correction, x nas already been pointed out by us that the free rlmiasinn nf snml involves a loss to the. revenue of some twenty to twenty-five mil f lions or dollars; mat it covers omy por tion, though the larger portion, oi our im-; ports oi . sugar; uiat.it is sure ui ijiuuuw yery serious changes, not only in the sngar trane and in sugar production at nome but in the trade with other sugar-producing countries, and that its effect should be very carefully studied before Jt is decided on. ' The tax on sugar; is. very hjgh.? The revenue from it is about $46,- 000,000 annually, Senator Ingalls said it would be better for the coun try to repeal the tax and pay the su gar planters for the difference be tween free sugar and taxed sugar than tokeep np the present war tax. This may be true, but Senator Ingalls does hot propose to wipe out any of ; the high tax on Northern mannfacfr nres. A Southern prodnction is as no thing in his sight. The tax on fiugar goes entirely into the U. S. Treasnry, but in the Northern manufactured sroods about four-fifths tgo into the pockets of "the: mill owners. That, the tax on sugar is excessive we have no doubt The tax on tobacco Is a proper one, because it is not in any true sense jt necessity,but jS a vice. If sugar is " taxed tobacco shofd be taxed, for sugar is anecUyy;: It enters into the comfort and enjoy ment of every household. We suppose the Spanish Treaty will be vigorously; assailed when it comes up in the Senate for discus sion. The Republicans will prob ably favor the sugar part of the treaty. - POLITICS AND THE PUBLIC HEALTH. It is asserted by Prof. Felix Ad ler, a member of the New York Tene ment House Committee, that politics have invaded the health department to the extent that the Board of Health dare not purify the slums, and enforce the laws about overcrowd ing, living in damp cellars, &c, be cause the property is Tjwned by men who are powerful in local politics. The health of the poor is thus jeop ardized and most unwisely and inhu manly. Prof. Charles F. Chandler was President of the Board for ten years and enforced the laws. He lost his head on account of it. The Times says: "His successor holds office by the con sent of a coalition of Tammany and Repub lican members of the Board of Aldermen. Now we are told by Prof. Adler that po litical influence of the same baneful kind prevents a purification of the plague spots. Ignorant, sordid, and corrupt politicians say that no one shall do that sanitary work that is so sorely needed." Politics should be kept out of all humane institutions and all Boards that deal with the health of the peo ple. It is because of this that the Stab has always insisted that our benevolent-State institutions should be conducted without political in fluence or consideration. When pol itics comeinto the management of such institutions harm is sure to fol low. Premier Gladstone, having disap pointed his enemies and the news papers that misrepresented him so studiously and ignorantly,by carrying out successfully his extension of the franchise so as to add some two mil lions of voters to the number already exercising the right of the ballot, will now go on with his Redistribu- ' tion bill and will secure its nassao-e. X o 7 thus adding to his already great rep utation as the reform statesman of the United Kingdom. , The New York World says: ' . . "Next in order is the pansage of the Re distribution bill, which will merge the Par liamentary representation of towns of. less than 15,000 inhabitants and some of the smaller boroughs into the counties, and will give towns of 60,000 inhabitants one member. By the bill England will gain six more member, Scotland twelve, and the representation of Wales and Ireland will remain unchanged." , ' . We suppose there is but little doubt as to the effect of these two important measures in strengthening the Liberal party, of which Mr. Gladstone is the life and wisdom. President-elect Cleveland will be much impressed with the earnest way in which candidates for Cabinet port- folios are being urged upon his at- tention.V In the mean time he is at tending closely to his business as Governor of the great State of New York,' and says he has no idea who' i will be selected to fill the-various He will be. places in his Cabinet; veryDt twxightTaxtz.

Price $2 a year. CURRENT COMMENT. Mr. Schoenhof, in a recent letter, shows that on September 1, this year, in the height of the busi ness season 5,000,000 cotton spindles out of 11,000,000 were idle. In woollen manufactures the condition of affairs was worse. No less than 280 of 450 ' furnaces were out of blast. The price of steel rails has gone down from $90 in February, 1881, to $26 a ton, this latter price being considerably below the Eng lish exporting price if we take into consideration the higher price of our pig iron, the material of the steel rail maker. This state of affairs characterizes all our highly protected industries. Protected as we are, there is only one industry that prospers, that of the importer. ; The importer is prosperous all the time, and im ports keeps rising. The value of the imports of articles of manufacture which bear the highest import duties were $247,000000 in 1880, $249,000, 000 in 1883, and $216,000,000 in 1884. . The duties collected on these articles rose from $96,000,000 in 1880 to $112,000,000 in 1883. The importations, indeed, are in an in verse proportion to the business de pression. The importation , of. iron alone fell materially . behind 1883. All other, branches are np to the highest mark, and the' importations of woollens and silk goods are great er than in the two prosperous years 1880 arid 1 881. Charleston News and Courier, Dem. All the bosh with which Mr. Blaine was trying to delude the coun try a few weeks ago is coolly swept away by Hugh. McCulloch in his masterly report as Secretary of the Treasury. All the campaign lies of the Republican organs and orators that the Morrison bill and the Dem ocrats were responsible for the de pression, all Mr. Blaine's plausible efforts to make it. appear that the tariff must be maintained in its pres ent state in short the whole basis of the Republican campaign on the tariff issue, is "cast as , 'rubbish to the void' " by President Arthur's and President Lincolfl's Secretary of the Treasury, one of the ablest prac tical financiers, arid soundest states men who have ever occupied ' that office.

It has not gone into general operation. It did not operate to displace office-holders and therefore it has come into practical operation slowly, it only being practically operative when now offices were created or vacancies were to be supplied. But what has been its practical effect ? It has not one whit abated,the partizanship of those appointed under the act. The ap pointees under the act, without exception, so far as our observation goes, ' belong to the dominant party. In fact, instead of their holding off from party, as was con templated by the act, they are more bitter, more intolerant, more bigoted parti zans than those employes who are not shielded by the civil service &ct. Elizabeth City Economist. m , There are ten or twelve candidates for the Speakership of the House of Represen tatives of the N. C. Legislature. Before the days of "reconstruction" , there was no electioneering for such places until the Legislature assembled, and then a man was selected who was too modest to beg for the place in advance. "Blow your own horn" seems to be the rule now. Charlotte Demo crat. - y' ';. : 1 '. Mr. Cleveland will select his officeholders from among Democrats. : This country has been ruled by the Republicans for twenty four years, and the corruptions of that par ty forced a change, which was effected by the VOTERS or mis country on the 4th of November. That change meant a Demo cratic Government. Should the Officers of the General Government be appointed from both the Democratic and Republican par ties, the Government would be neither Democratic nor Republican, and the will of the people expressed at the polls would -not be carried put.

To take her place at the head of a f pmily without a fair know ledge of this useful household art would be to disgrace her mother and herself in the minds of all their acquaintances. The average young bride goes to a home of her own with a few practical ideas on a matter which will have to come before her thrice a day, and one in which the health and gen eral prosperity of herself and others must essentially depend. Then, if ever- she ac quires even a passable skill in cookery, it will doubtlessly be through much wasting and worrying, and manifold non-successes. Meantime dyspepsia, or other evil angel, is lurking in the shadow of her table. To the young wife and housekeeper so cir cumstanced half the terrors of me kitchen are at once removed by the introduction of the ever ready, always reliable, Royal Bak ing Powder. With its proper use there can never be failure in bread,' biscuit, or cake while the perfect healthfulness of the food produced is likewise so well assured that all who partake may defiantly snap their fingers in the face of old Dyspepsia. This point gained, the victory over inexperience and bad luck in other things is speedily won. : The Royal Baking Powder, on ac count of its superior powers as a leavening agent, the great facility with which it may be used, its proved economy; and its thor oughly . established wholesomeness and purity, as established by the tests of govern ment chemists and others, has become the general substitute for cream of tartar and soda in the making of nice, sweet, light, flaky, digestible bread, biscuit, etc. With its. use the young : mistress of the ' house may take a pardonable pride in he work of her hands.
