ing statement shows one of the effects Of short
sighted legislation and the protection of mo-
nopolies and combinations. 1t shows what the
Government has had to pay on account of the
duty on paper:
The Superintendent of Public Printing has in-
formed the Ways and Means Committee that Il
deficiency Of half million dollars exists in the
appropriation for purchase Of paper for the Gov
ernment printing Office When the last appro-
priation was made, the contract price for book
paper was eighteen cents per pound. and the cs-
Inmates were made upon that basis but Congress
permitted heavy protective tariff to remain on
imported paper, whcreupon the paper makers
entered into n combination and raised the price
of the paper to the amount of the duty. Govern
fnent is now paving u 10 - cents per pound for
what previously cost Is to 81 cents hence the
deficit of half million. The Treasury receives
no revenue, as no paper is imported, and it pays
out half million by its own prohibtory lcgis-
lation.
