Légende

Demesmay, 1849. Ami des boeufs: - Grâce à Demesmay, l'impôt sur le sel est aboli et le bétail peut en manger à bouche que veux-tu, ce qui, pour lui, est une grande douceur. Du reste il est à peu près prouvé que le sel n'engraisse pas l'homme. (A great friend of cattle. Thanks to Demesmay the tax on salt has been abolished and the animals are now able to lick as much salt as they like... for him a very sweet success. Moreover, it is almost certainly proven that salt does not make humans fat). Philippe Auguste Demesmay (1805-1853) was an ardent defender of the peasantry and a fierce opponent of the salt tax. He was nicknamed "the salt deputy."
