A representative of the Salt Company of Onandaga, the "Great Salt Monopoly" of which Barker was Secretary, demands a fair hearing, angrily protesting "when you hold us up to public odium as a monopoly." The Company admits to economies of scale, attempts to expand its market, stabilize prices, and "carry the salt as near as possible to the consumers." These are good business practices.
