The Duty on Paper.

The Duty on Paper.
We are glad TO sec that Mr.. Muljrow, of Mis-
sissippi, and Mr. Ford Of lllinois, have intro
duced bills in Congress placing paper suitable
for books and newspapers and eli materials used
in its manufacture, on :he free list.
We cannot too strongly advoctte the passage
by Congress Of some measure tE1t will relieve
the people from the present conlIbation Of the
owners Of the paper mills in t9 country
While the cost of labor and mate(f5ls for manu-
featuring paper have not materil1y advanced,
the paper makers have ipereasedkthe price OF
news paper from to IL cents pound and tell
US they do net know how long they will sell at
even-that price. Under this exorbitaut price
number Of papers have been compelled to either
increase their price of subscription or SO mate
rally reduce the size of their papers as to de-
prive their subscribers of large amount of
reading matter, daily and weekly. Nor docs the
evil end with the newspapers; the price of every
school book, law book, scientific and miscel-
laneous work must be increased in proportion.
Paper enters largely into the necessities Of every
industrial department Of life and tax upon it
is a tax upon the Industrial and Intellectual ad-
| vancement Of the people. We can see reason
for the extraordinary rise in paper, Every we'll
managed mill that we know OF was making
money before, and they are not paying-in this
part of the country, ut least-any higher for ra1
and labor. If the duty on paper nd tho mate
terials Of which it is made wss- hovetl., pai,se
could be imported for cents pound, and W.
are satisfied that our own mills could manufac
ture it proftably at that price If there is no
something done in this matter every school bool
and ell other kinds of reading matter must al
vance at least so per cent. in price. The peop
Mt large arc more interested in it than the print
ers and publishers, for the increased price will
necessarily, be put upon the book paper pur
chased. We hope our Representatives in Con
gress will appreciate the Injustice of the pape
mill cxtortion and give the people the advantag
| of an open field TO arrest it.
