signed If possible to break up the monopoly
Of tho manufacturers Of paper, which It Is to
be hoped will Be successful. The steady
and enormous rise Of this article from 7 and
8 to ~ and 20 cents per Pocnd. within the
past two yeals. is attributed solely to com.
bination among the manufacturers in this
country, to keep up the price and keep out
foreign competition. The remedy proposed
10 the sepesI of the existing duty on foreign
print, thus letting it como in and compete
with the domestic manufacture. Foreign
paper can be afforded, il is said, in New
York. for 10 to II cents per pound. The
Government, Il is said, derive no revenue
