It Is Curious.

It is curious that just after the Attorney General of this State has prosecuted a State corporation successfully in the name of the people, and has obtained a judgment annulling its charter because it has entered a combination designed to suppress competition in the manufacture and sale of refined sugar, a charter should be granted by the people of the same State, under their general corporation laws, to a corporation whose avowed purpose is to prevent competition in the sale of salt throughout the whole country, and whose official prospectus openly admits that the corporation has entered into a compact with a similar corporation in England to prevent the shipment of English salt to the United States if the people here should seek to encourage such importations for their own relief by removing the tariff duty on salt.— New York Times,
