DEAR Stn, -I came across the foliating
paragraph in the Globe the other day :-
The Inenei states that there la &movement on Notes
klontrect to term strong syndicate for the purpose of
purcbasingthe various salt propertiean
s in d around
Goderieht and to consolidate the whole into a powerful
orsanizatton that alrall economically and proatibly werh
the inexhaustible eeposits of the purestsalt the world,
which new awaits the capital anl. akIll of sOine persons
n order to return for an time to come an assured and
Are pereentage on ontlay,
Before there ill any more money sunk in mob
a profttless acheme would raise a warnieg
voice. Let me eelthe Signal if "the capital
and,iikill of some ',croons" is all that is reguir-
ed'4zeto to assure "for all tiroe to come a large
per ontage on outlay,''how is it the Salt
Works in erci
ulerich are n their present eon- '
dition ? I know of no more lamentable sight
in the Dominion of Canada, of its kind, than
Goderich presents to -day. Thousands upon
thousancla of dollars lymg not only idle, but
wasting sway under the sure hands of time
and weather. Salt pans all rusted, brick work
fallen in, and block buildings, gone to utter
ruin, le a poor picture of the reality. If skill
andecapitel are the two essentials to prosperity,
was term no capital put into Salt Works in
Goderioh, or was there no ekill? Surely no
Goderich man will deny the existence of the
latter essential, and the ruins of the bloclos to.
daye peeve the existence at one time of the
forraer. There is no saying what people will
ern pet tnoney into, but woo be to the I some
persons" whom money finds its way into
Goclerieh Salt Works. It will, indeed, prove
to be -the place from whence no dividend
returna! • ,
, , Again, if there is. money in it, what capital
would be required to buy up the whole thing?
I should be sorry to offer 25 cents on the
original dollar far all the Salt property in
Goderieh, knowing how readily the offer
would be snapped at. Surely there is enough
money in Goderioh itself to form " strong
eyndicate and consolidate the whole into it
powerful organization," or, at least, in the
County pf Huron. Why go to Montreal for
"A.burrit band dreade the gin," and " diitince
lends enchantment to the vievr," are the two
reasons I would suggest' for:the Signal's other -
'wise, to me, inexplicable proceeding.
'Another question I would ask the Signe
If Salt Works in Goderith did not pay the past
six or sieven years, ,with the tariff as it was,
how will Salt pay now? Oar home market.
we always had; has that blessed (?) N, P, open-
huy, new market ? Has "rather
closed up any remote chance we might haVe,
had to ally new market, and 'whatever salt
goat to manufacture before the N. 13, existed,
what does it cost now I If the Signal only
would take $1000 worth of stock in this new,
powerful organization, and examine the ac-
counts ht the end of the 5ret six months,
there would be the most powerfully organized
howl of woe ever heard, even iu Goderieb.
In closing, I would suggest to any "some
persons" in Montreal, that before they put
any money into this ocheme, let them go
round Goderich and see what amount they
could get pubscribed; bona fide, by people who
have the detains of salt .bitsiness at their
fingers' ends! The result would be surprising.
Verb. Sap. The whole iffouble is this, -we
have a very limited market; we -have emir -
mous producing capacity; we can make in
Canada to -day five barrels Si least lot every
one that is wanted; et ergo, .the avorks•that
nroduee fuur barrels out of the five, must stop.
Those works,' according to the Signal, that
possess " capital and shill, assure a large re.
turn on the . outlay.'" I might add, Seaforth.
