THE Duty ON STEEL RAILs.-The
Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun of the 7th says A canvass of the COM
mittee on ways and means gives an almost
positive result that there will be a division
by party lines ON the bill to reduce duty on
steel rails, the eight democrats favoring re-
duction from twenty-e eight to fourteen dol.
lars per ton, and the five republicans oppos-
ing any change in the law. The Vanderbilt
bill, which is under consideration, meditates
reduction to ten dollars ton, but it is MOI
believed that so great a reduction will be
agreed to. But there is very strong doubt
of the ability of the flee traders to get the
bill through the House, and it may be con-
sidered doubtful that even should it pass the
House it will secure favorable consideration
in the finance committee of the Senate, as
it is asserted that of the nine members of
this committee but two, Messrs. Voorhees,
and Beck, will consent to reduction.

The recent rise in the price of paper has
led several Western newspapers to make a
corresponding rise in price. The leading st.
Louis dailies are now sold at one cent per
copy higher than theretofore-that is, at
five cents per copy. The Chicago Times has
likewise increased to six cents per copy. It's
subscription price per year, including the
Sunday edition, is now SIG. The Chicago
Tribune continues to sell at the old price
five cents-but has dispensed with its sup
plements. The fact is that it is not only the
increased price of white paper, but the aug
mentation of expense In every department
that has made the publishing of a newspa-
per much more costly now than ever before.
These advances in the material which enter
into newspaper publications, proportionally
affect the county papers, and while very
few Of them will. advance the price Of sub
scription, their patrons will see the neces-
city of more promptly meeting the obiga-
tiOns.
