Those grievances include the salt tax, which, in its incidence, falls with equal pressure upon rich as well as poor, and is over 1.000 per cent. of the cost price. Having been made a monopoly, it has deprived tens of thousands of people of their supplementary occupation and the artificially heavy cost of salt has made it very difficult, if not im- possible, for poor people to give enough salt to their cattle and to their land.

This unnatural monopoly is Bus- tained by laws, which are only so called, but which are a denial of law. They give arbitrary powers
