late 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. Let us read in the resolutions of the Provisional Congress of South Carolina, March 1776, the full testimony of this great experience: "Whereas, information has been laid before the Congress that certain persons do monopolize the necessary article of salt, and demand can extravagant price for the same, and also require specie in payment, to the detriment of the continental and cliental currency; the Congress do therefore. "Resolved, That no persons do hereafter presume to soil salt for more than twenty-five shillings per bushel, (about $6.25,) exclusive of the expens

Jenkins, Mr. Jos. Fickling, be, and they are hereby appointed Commissioners in like manner for a public Salt Works on the Southern coast of this colony. That each board of the said Commissioners, respectively, shall have power to draw upon the colony treasury, for any sum not exceeding $35,000 (seven thousand pounds currency) for defraying the necessary expenses incurred by this service. And that they shall sell the salt to be made at the same public works at the most reasonable rate (19 March, 1776.") To complete this important regulation, two days after it, the Congress adjoined Mr. Benjamin Eddings to the commission entrusted for erecting Salt Works on the Southern coast.--(Page 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 ski

land, 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. We should neither forget the warm appeal made to Doctor David Ramsay, from Philadelphia, for introducing in Charleston, by examples and writings, the improvements of the nitre manufacture, (14th March, 1776,) the iron-work paper mills or internal canalization, which were matters of the highest importance for the Carolinian law-givers. In short, they were ready to advance money to the most enterprising citizens, and encourage every useful industry, introduced with the express purpose of being carried on in as great perfection as in any part of Europe *--In this simple expression, what pride! Those who spoke in such a manner were very truly disenthralled from the old world by this reso

t appeared in the market, and no domestic production was ready to counteract it. Under such unforeseen circumstances, lawgivers, the very best friends of liberty and economical principle, were obliged to fix a maximum price on salt, and 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.

by so free, strong and far-seeing a people as the Americans, if not to manufacture all the quantity that 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. Now, I ask if the Confederate States are rich enough to pay for her salt, as France for her glory? We must even confess
