lation the result was almost inevitable. The superior race uses and abuses its natural advantages; and as necessity is superior to utility, as life prevails over luxury and well being, the master of this vital merchandize rules the market. Receiving in return the gold dust and ivory from the Nigritian, the Arabs and Moors often carry away the negro himself — obliged to give up his liberty because nature has made him dependent on a foreign supply of salt. The English dominion in the East Indies produced in the last century an analogous social phenomenon, when the merciless Warren Hasting established his exclusive and dreadful monopoly of salt The timorous Asiatic at this very time gives his English ruler the title of Master of the Salt, showing by this qualification that salt is regarded by them as the infallible index of power and true privilege of conquest. Such being the influential trade and production of salt, what ought to be done by so free, strong and far-seeing a p

We must even confess it frankly: young America, confident in a dream of perpetual peace, as much perhd to regulate its sale, doing what in a normal situation would have been the most anti-economical, anti-liberal Later, in France, under similar but more tragical circumstances, the National Convention tried also, by a maximum force, to counteract the scarcity of 1798; but in France also the evil increased by the remedy itself: so that the American maximum of 1776 can now be better understood, and will be remembered.

at they consume at first, and afterwards exchange the residue with inferior races or foreign countries? But how short is the indigenous production from the present consumption in the Confederate and United States?--Instead of producing all their salt, they are importing yearly 17 millions of bushels, and especially all the sea salt wanted for their provisions and Northern fisheries. During 1858, for instance, New York imported 3,372-566 bushels of foreign salt; Charleston 814,151 Bushels; Savannah 816,669 bushels; and so on, in Philadelphia, New Orleans and other places. So that the total importation causes a waste of two or three millions of dollars, which certainly would be better applied to internal improvements and cultivation of the Southern sea-coasts.

dominion; for the manufacturer of salt controls always, in some respects, the health and social well-doing of the people obliged to buy it. Who rules, indeed, the Chinese population, if not the Tartar race, who, after their first intercourse with China as salt-traders, became at last the conquerors of this Empire?-- Thanks are due by these barbarians to the Salt Lakes and fossil salt so abundant in their wilderness, by the use of which they continue their primitive trade; and loading with salt innumerable camels, take, in return, the thread, linen and millet of China; they bring back also with them the obedience of their consumers, because salt is the most necessary article in all these exchanges. Look at the negro race in Africa. Who are their rulers, if not the Arabs and Moors, masters of inexhaustible salt lakes and mines, whilst the poor Nigritian is absolutely deprived of salt in the interior of his deserts?

To understand how much the actual dependence on a foreign supply of salt can be injurious to the Confederate States, in case of war, we have first to examine the general influence of salt upon internal relations, and to know well iny is unanimous upon this subject, and the experience of mankind will be also corroborated by the double trial of the United States in the year of their political independence, and during the second war with the mother country.

--In this simple expression, what pride! Those who spoke in such a manner were very truly disenthralled from the old world by this resolution of being equal to any civilized people. They certainly were no longer politically bound to their European mother country; and when the time arrived, would be no more dependent on her for the future supply of salt, as well as gunpowder, and other articles of national importance. This patriotic and provident conduct was followed with imitation by Georgia, the younger sister of South Carolina, and by the other States of the rising confederation, each of them understanding that, without an indigenous and independent production of vital merchandize, their political independence was jeopardized. This steady ambition for internal improvements and Americanization of all necessary articles of consumption was the most practical, if not the brightest, event which characterized the Revolutionary War.

116. Provisional Congress, 1776) In every one of these Commissioners, I am happy to recognize the names of my country men, the French Huguenots, who originated from the provinces of France the most advanced in the salt manufacture; practical and enthusiastic people who, giving their arms and skill to the industrial emancipation of the New World, dedicated their hearts and hands to the conquest of religious and political freedom. Remember, also, that after the revocation of the edict of Nantes, they brought to England the French method of making salt from the sea brine by atmospheric evaporation. But under the sunless and damp skies of England, this method was, of course, unavailable, and was given up in the beginning of this century. In relation to the public spirit of these times, South Carolina evinced a standard of it in the matter of salt, acting with wisdom, foresight and energy, as the curies of that heroic age required.
