morial OF A. A. Froiseth, who susgasts that

European capitalists Interested in other coun-
tries, Us Australia, South and Central Amer
lea, Mexico, the South and North Pacific Ter

every means and inducements to divert emf

and giving free grants Of land, etc. He refers
to the building of the Pacific Railroad, to the
supply of agricultural 1abor to, the West, the
development Of our national resources, and
estimates the value Of such immigration as
equal to tho mineral resources Of the gold re-
gions. For these reasons attention Is called
to Legislation for the protection and direction

THE PAPER monopoly,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The agents OF paper
dealers and manufacturers have been busy nj
tempting to influence the action Of Congress
against the reduction Of duty on paper. The
embarTaesmcnts to publishers resulting from
the imposition of extortionate prices are ap-
prerIated by many influential members Of
Congress, who will not fail at the proper time
to urge such relief as will secure the ends Of
Justice and honesty. The reports which have
reached here that paper dealers and manufac-
::tulers are only waiting for: the adjournment
:of Congress to increase their prices above the
Of the, present condition Of the money market.
'T;We republish this dispatch for the pur-
pose Of calling the attention Of newspaper
publishers and the public generally to
few facts. The present high duty on paper
l95 per cent. in coin) has enabled the
American paper manufacturers, by com
1dnations among themselves to double the
price Of paper within a few months, and
they may carry it to an indefinite figure
under the influence Of 9 paper stock panic.
These men are now besieging Congress to
prevent reduction >of duty on foreign
papers. Their success will place publish
ers completely in their hands, It behooves
those interested therefore to take prompt
measures to defeat the selfish designs of
the monopo1ists. As we have stated, the
present duty on paper is IS per cent in gold
or equal to go per cent, in currency, which
isrequired to pay the duties. If this duty be
reduced 10 10 per cent. "a vdlorem; the re-
duction of duties is equal to nearly IS per
cent. Paper can be bought in England for
8 cents a pound Add duty, transporta-
ton and profits to the factor, and the price
Of English paper in cur market-and a
much better article than is now got
would be Is cents per pound. Publishers
are now paying 10 to 20 cents for an infe~
rior article; and If the duty on paper
be not reduced, they may be compelled
to pay 20 to as cents pound
for q miserable quality Of paper and Of
course must make d corresponding In
crease in the price Of the their issues. One
hn1f the papers In the country, under these
ci1cumstanees7 would be fompelied to Gus
pend, and the other half carry up their
prices at least so per cent. We do hope
our contemporaries will take this matter in
hand. Let a pressure be brought to bear
upon every member Of Congress that shall
make him understand that this matter
must not be ignored OF postponed. The
paper monopoly must be resisted
