The newspapers have grievance. In tie
general advance in wages and prices there is
one thing that has risen quite out of pro-
portion to tho rest, and that is white paper.
Within the last few weeks the price of this
commodity has advanced fully fifty per cent.
To newspaper of the circulation of the
Times this is great item, involving an adj
ditional outlay of several thousand dollars a
month without any compromising advantage
With the Eastern journals the price of sub
scription is the same that it was when bot
tom prices prevailed FOR everything, and ad-
vertising rates, too, remain as they
were. Out West, b ,wever, the publish
ers have come to the conclusion that some
thing must give way. Already we miss the
once frequont extra sheets, filed with mis-
ceIlany of news aud literature, which some
of them have ceen sending out gratis two or
three times week. In st. Louis the price
of single copies of the morning papers has
been raised from four cents copy to five
cents. This was done week ago and read
ers do not seem disposed to complain. In
Chicago both of the great papers have sue
cumbed to the pressure. The Times, as
Choice of evils between reduction in size and
increase of rates, has advanced its price one
cent a day, retailing hereafter at six
cents instead of five and raising
its delivery price to city subscribers from 25
to 80 cents week. The publisher of that
paper estimates that the cost of printing it is
at the rate of 100000 year more in 1880
than it was in 1879. Its rival, the Tribune,
accepts this estimate as in accordance with
its own experience and recognizes the logic
of an increase of the subscription price. The
Tribune prefers, however, to curtail the
number of its supplements; it has done this
already and says it "may have
to drop more of them if the price of paper
keeps on advancing" In other West
ern cities the size of the sheets will be re-

permit it. OF the relative propriety of
these several devices for tightening the bur-
den, each newspaper must judge for itself.
We are inclined to think that all are Prema-
ture. The price of paper is exorbitant and
the methods employed to keep it up are
forced. Such initiation is always followed by
an expansion damaging to the lnaators. The
newspapers can afford to wait, although wait
ing is an expensive luxury.

The Price of Print-Paper.


l. II has become a source Of serious annoy
ancc, and will be of embarrassment, to all
the newspaper publishers of the United
States that print-paper has taken so vast a
rise 1t is now fully 60 Pc. cent. higher than
it was five months ago. In the meanwhile
most publishers have continued their old
prices, and while so doing they are certain
that they are losing money.
st. Louis appears to be the only city in
which the rise is distinctly recognized. The
larger journals of that city have put their
prices up from 25 to 80 cents per week.
Son. in all the departments of the printing
trade, this rise will hays to be recognized,
and the publishers will have to charge more
for print paper, inasmuch as they are pay
ing GO per cent mora.
Business never can be long continued
where the loss is steadily on one side. In
view of the extraordinary advance in white
paper, it has been suggested that the United
States should abolish the present prohibitory
duty on print paper, and admit it duty fire..
and. as fair compensation in return to tho
manufacturer here, Congress should like
wise abolish the duty Of $3.50 per ton on
soda ash, and likewise the duty on other
chemicals which enter into the composition
of print paper.
1t is probable that the present price of
white paper will continue, because the mar
ket has only touched the scale of ante wal
prices, when we had gold currency. The
depression in the paper market was unnat-
ural, and could not continue any more than
that nails could continue at So. 10 per LOG
pounds, which was the lowest price ever
reached by the nail market in the history OF
modern civilization. The rebound has come
in iron, and so it has in print paper.
per.
Chicago Times.
1t people want cheap newspapers let them
beseech Congress to remove the duty on the
chemicals used in the manufacture of print
paper. Print paper con be bought in Canada
to-day at about three cents per pound cheaper
than in the States. This is because of fee
chemicles in t':at country. But there is an
American duty on foreign print paper of twen-
ty per cent, So that the cheapness of the
article abroad is of no avail here.
If we, in this country, could have
chemicals free of duty, the American paper
maker would be able to beat the foreigner very
materially in the price at which he could sell.
Let us have free chemicals. Let every body
pray Congress to give us fair
tariff, and when we get it,
we shall have cheap newspapers, and, at tho
same time, good newspapers. At present,
there can not be cheap newspapers which at
the same time shall be COED newspapers.

IMankato Review,

The LIE Sueur Sentanel's criticism in re.
gard to the partisan character given to the
management of public institutions, and
especially the Normal schools, is timely an
well-deserved. For the past fonr or five
years the governor has carefully avoided the
appointment of single Democrat TO MEM
bership on the board, despite the fact that all
three schoola are located in communities in
which that party is in the ascendency, and
the schools number many influential Demo
Gratis among their most effective supporters.
1t is right that the Sentinel should call
halt in this policy, if the schools are to be
maintained and made success.

The Latest Thing in Dances.

The latest thing in dances is called
the raquet," and is neither a waltz
nor polka, though the best parts of
both are preserved. The music strikes
up with a crash, as though new vol
cano had broken out, and the girl will
cling tightly, as though frightened, if
she understands the dance and the
young man will reassure her by gen.
tie pressure, if he understands the
dance or knows anything at all. At
the second crash they dodge, as though
some one had thrown a blacksmith
shop at them and they start in. They
begin by initiating the struggle for life,
representing a person who is drowning
but at each crash of the cymbals and
bass drum they dodge and scoot to one
side, then dart back again., jam each
other sideways and then as the crashes
OF music become more terrific and
deafening, they try to drive each other
through the floor by main strength, get
desperate and claw, and tear, and pull,
and all at once they go raving mad with
hydrophobia and delirium tremens and
gnash their teeth and rave and suffer
the most terrible agony-and all is
over. 1t is ashort dance as the de-
sign is amusement and not murder.
But short as it is. it is said to be very
sweet. N 7. World. NJ. s,...s...

The Mysteries Of Vegetation.

oclentlfc men often rejoice over the
solution of problems that have proved
stubborn, only to find.6 after a awhile.
that new solutions are desirable. n ia
not long since they have settled down
to belief that they knew all about the,
formation of starch in vegetation and
connected it with the action of LIGHT on
chiorophyl. At a recent meeting of
the Academy OF Natural Sciences of
Philadelphia, a member exhibited some
potatoes that had been formed in the
dark chambers of a safe belonging to a
Philadelphia merchant. He had pur-
chased new novel kind to take home
to be cooked for trial; but they were
placed in the safe and forgotten. These
sprouted, made new ones about one
fourth the size of the parents and then,
wholly dried up. The question arose
as to the means by which the starch
was transferred from the old to .the
young potato in-.the total absence Of
light One member said such instances
were not unknown. The live oak
sprouted at once when it fell from the
tree and proceeded at once to push out the
radicle and long cotyledonarv petioles.
making tuber underground before il
pushed forth growth from the plumule,
and transferred the starch from the
seed cotyledons to the tuber; and some
terrestrial orchids have been known to
remain in the ground a whole season
without making foliage. but make 3
new bulb, the old one which is slwavs'
annual, dying, and anew one being
formed BY its side, as in the ordinary
growth. When, after these statements
it was asked whether the starch gran
ules in the parent seed or root was first
dissolved during the transfer and be-
came granulated-in its second deposit,
or was transferred, in its .granulated
condition. the only answer was that the
starch had been transferred without the
agency OF light; but how it was done
nobody knew.-M Y Independent.
