HOW DEAR PAPER AFFECTS THE COUNTRY
PRESS

Something has got to be done to stop the rise
in paper,o ;he asylums for the poor through
out the country will soon be filled with news.
paper publishers WHmar (uinn.) RepuJlican.
There is a serious side 10 this facetous re.
mark. The average country weekly newspa-
per has, for the past two years, consumed from
$1,000 to Sl'50 worth of printing paper per
year for its edition. This paper in 1850 is
costing the publisher 81 800 where it was last
year 81 900, and 81, $50 against 81 800 in 1879
or 1873. This increase of expense of $500 TO
$3.50 year seems like small item to a big
city daily newspaper establishment, but it is
very serious amount to village weekly jour
nal, of which there are some 5000 published
in the United States. 1t is large enough sum
to cover the question of profit and loss in some
thousand of cases. Add to the expenses of the
average country weekly $3.50 for white paper
and the publisher not only will not make dol.
lar for his years labor, but will drift behind
and become involved in debt in carrying on
his business. So that an advance of so per
cent. in print is really no laughable matter with
the country editor. 1t places im in this di.
lemma if he raises his subscription price IS
cents or 81 year to meet and cover the ad,
vance Of the paper combinat ton in print, he
will lose third or half of his subscribers
The Stop my paper will pour in on him as
thick and fast comparatively, as they did on
certain publisher not thousand miles from
here who raised his price but one cent copy !;
If he tries the other horn of the dilemma, and
| reduces the size of his sheet to correspond with
the advancement of paper, he will cripple his
advertising space, and deprive his readers of a
| material portion of the locai and other news OF
| the day, and soon ruin himself This is the
straight between two in which the paperma,
ker's combination has placed the country
newspaper publishers. They are being ground
to powder between the upper and neither mill
stones of fixed subscription prices and "pro.
tecied" monopoly combination on paper. As
Congress has made law which enables the pa.
permakers to fleece the country publishers, the
latter are appealing to Congress to repeal it,
They want to do no injustice to the papermak
ers, and to this end ask Congress to remove the
taxes on chemicals and pulp, whereby the man
ufacturers can make cheaper paper. What OBJ
lection can the high tariflites have to this prop
osltion? Why should they oppose removing
the duties on soda.ssh and wood and straw
pulp? And after those taxes are removed anc
the cost of paper making essentially cheapene,
why should not the tax on imported paper ais
be repealed This is what the country pres
ask at the hands of Congress- and it is reasona
BILE and right and should be granted. - Cler,

The Question Of Polygamy.

Congress at last seems disposed TO pay
some attention to the question of Polygamy.
A bill has been reported from the Judi
ciary Committee which has been aimed di-
rectly at the practices of the Mormons in
Utah. 1t imposes fine of not more than
five dollars and an imprisonment of not
over five years upon every person who hav-
ing husband or wife living, thereafter
marries another. This provision does not
extend to any person whose husband or wife
is absent for five successive years, and is not
known to be living nor to any person whose
lawful marriage has been dissolved by de-
cree of a competent court. ltprovides that
in any case of prosecution for bigamy any
person drawn as a jurynan may he chal-
lenged if he is or has been living in the
practice of bigamy or poygamy, or if he
believes it morally, reigiously or legally
right for a man to have more than one liy-
ing and undivorced vile, or to live in the
practice of cohabtation with more than
one woman 1t also authorizes the Presi-
dent to grant amnesty to offenders against
! the law for offences committed before Jan.
|, 1S79 on such conditions and under such
| limitations as he shall think proper, but no
| such amnesty shall have effect unless the
conditions thereof shall have been complied
with. The bill provides that the issue of
| plural or Mormon marriages born before
Nov. l, 1879, shall be considered legitimate
and entitled to all the rights of heirs and
next to kin of their parents. If this bill
is pressed to a pa ssage and resolutely en-
forced, there will sooii be an end of the de-
based and demoralizing practices of the
Mormons, which have for so long de6ed and
disgraced law. As soon as the Mormon big
amist finds himself on the footing of com
mon criminal subject at any time to pun
ishment, the beginning of the end is at
hand. Congress cannot afford to neglect
longer or trife with the grave issues of
polygamy. If her laws are to be respected
at all, they must be obeyed as well on the
shores .of the Salt Lake as along the coast
of the Atlantic. Congress could not do a
better work this session than turn aside
from President making and other political
intriguing and stamp out once and forever
the vicious and licentious tenants of the
Mormon doctrine of polygamy. -Jetcrso-
