Salt Duty Cut Sought by Canadian Packers
Canadian packers press for reduced salt duty and reciprocity with the United States. Salt price in Canada rose from 55 cents per barrel in 1887 to 98 cents now, while U S price stands at 65 cents. Joseph Kidd says profit possible at 60 cents with a free Chicago market for packing salt and dairy salt sales. Reform advocates say unrestricted reciprocity would ease tax on coal iron piping and bags and boost Canadian access to U S markets as policy shifts after U S elections.
