TII the Edttor if the Clinton Nin'Erai 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. LARm GE Lee.-Lasf week a ewe belonging to Mr. Geo.
