REMEMBERISG THE PREss. We were pre-
scented this week, by j n. Lindsay, with a
Darrell of apples from his orchard of the
''Blue Pear Name" quality They are from
3 to inches in diameter and are of the rosy
eheel, order. They are as fine an apple as
we have seen in any part Of the world. Mr..
Lindsay has several tons stored in the cellar
Of the Abegg store and those desiring: good
first class article of apples will do Well to
call on him before they are gone. In those
new cities north and east of Lewiston where
the orchards are yet young, the people would
do well to lay in aWinter supply Of this most
excellent fruit while Mr.. Lindsay has still q
good assortment, choice picked on hand.

The enormlty of the import tax on
white paper is shown in the fact that
the Chicago Times estimates its share
of loss for the protection of paper mo-
nopolists at 500, 600 year, and it has,
with courage and justice, distributed
this assessment among its consumers
by raising its subscription price to $14
9 year, or SIC, including the Sunday
edition, The Chicago Tribune has re-
duced its s;zs. In st. Louis and De.
troit the subscription price of the news
papers has 5een raised. When it is
stated that the rise IN the price Of
printing paper has been fifty per cent.
since last October, no other cause can
be assigned than that it has been he
result of combination all along the line,
and the only relief from this unjust
oppression is before Congress. At pres
ent prices there must be = general re.
duction in the expense Of publishing
newspapers, or there must be q general
increase in the pnce of subscriptions
