The price Of paper isnot TO be reduced.
The Printing Paper Makers Association bad
their regular monthly meeting in Springfield,
Mass on Wednesday, and voted to maintain
the present rates firmly. No imporiations OF
foreign paper stock are now being made, nor
is it possible TO make them with the tariff lin.
changed, the duties being prohibitory. The
manufacturers look for All immediate advance
in the price Of domestic stock, the making OF
that article being controlled by one or two
parties, and hence the cost Of paper, they
hold, will not go down. To make sure thai
the supply does not exceed the demand, the
Eastern manufacturers have voted TO shut
down their mills for three weeks in duly, and
the same time in August. II seems probable
from this action that both the stock aud pa
per manufacturers have come 60 the conclu.
sion that the tariff will not be changed during
the present session Of Congress.

aged buildings, fallen timber, uprooled or.
chards and prosirated fences, The wind was
accompanied by torrent Of rain, the most
vivid lightning and terrific peals Of thunder.

The Tribune says: The AntiThrd Term
Convention which assembled a. st. Louis yes
terday was in every respect successful de-
monstration OF the strong and earnest oppo-
sition to the attempted violation Of unwritten
law and established precedent in the nomins
ton Of Gen. Grant to another term OF the
Presidency. The body was made up of about
400 delegates from ditlere parts of the coun-
try, among them many Republicans of more than
local prominence in the party-men who are
sincere in the belief that the third-term move
ment is menace TO the success and the very
existence OF the Republican party. No effort
was made TO advance the interests OF any can
dldste, the Convention contenting itself with
accomplishing its mission and desgn,-tbat OF
placing before the country an earnest protest
against the nomination OF Gen. Grant. A
committee was appointed whose duty it shall
be 10 issue call for Convention TO he held

ton, tie second Convention to determine what
measures shall be taken in such an event.

The Western Stationer and Printer, noting
the fact that, though the gains In the printing
business are not bonanza-like, they are still
sufficient to keep the wolf from the door,
SAYS:
The present heavy advance IN paper, type
and printers materials generally has demon
strated the fact that printers as a class are
sounder financially, and are possessed OF more
business skill than they have heretofore re-
ceived credit for. There seemed to be a feel
ing prevalent throughout the country last fall
and winter, when printers goods took such
rapid leaps upward, that the spring would wit
ness sad havoc among the ranks of printers,
and that bankruptcies and financial embarrass-
ments would be heard on every band, from
Maine to California. The spring has come and
the printers are prosperous. The failures
among The craft have been no greater than
among other classes of business. Perhaps not
as large. - We might point out IN
detail that It is with no ordinary difficulties that
the printers and publishers have had to con-
tend. Their customers are too often made up
OF class OF people who are heavy in promi-
SEES, but very slow in cash. In spite OF all this,
the printers and publishers have bravely and
successfully weathered the storm. They have
proved that they possess business ability OF
lst-class order, as we'll as being the most in
telligent class of business men in this or anv
other country.

GARFIELD AND THE WOOD-PULP
SWINDLE.
Cincinnati Commercial.


Gen. Garfield seems to be in want of vaua-
bic information CT the wood pulp business, or
he negects. when lie rises to personal ex-
PLANTATION, to take advantage OF what he knows.
The duty on woodpulp was placed by the
false construction OF the law of Congress by
the Treasury Department some years ago, and
cannot be displaced without an act OF Con-
gress.
This wood-pulp duty was not levied for reve-
nue. purposes. 1t yielded last year AZ cents.
1t is part OF a system Of extortlon. It is one
of the links OF the chain Of rings that make
up the tariff swindle.
Gen. Garfield shows symptoms Of being the
personal property OF those rlngs, an 10000
newspapers are about TO hold the mirror up to
his nature, and show HIM the lnnermost parts
OF himself
Congress has two woodpulp memberships.
Warner Miller OF New York, and Mr.. William
A. Russell Of Massachusetts,. They are leagued
with the representatives OF other interests.
There is theory that Congress is composed OF
representatives OF the people. but il is a lie.
The greater number OF members OF Congress
represent rngs-that is TO say, combinations
or organizations that, through legislation pre-
pared by attorneys, extort money from those
who earn II.
Wood pulp has two members. Now, if
grindstone- quarry is found. grindstones would
require protection, and send member or two
OF Congress. Wood have several rep
resentatives, and so on.
Our miserable tariff is complex. and With
refinement of barbarism, is spread ever
thousand articles 1t is an aggregate OF petty
rascalities. The pulp OF wood having been in
clu6ed IN articles to be taxed contrary to the
law and common sense, by the compacent tool
OF all monopolists, Boutwell,, the wood-pulp
members do not seem to occupy very dgni-
he'd position; but they are as good and grand
as the rest.

pendenty of instructions to vote as unit, each
delegate has the right to vote as he pleases
CD that each delegate has the right to vote on
the nomination of candidates free OF all in-
structons. From these decisions 1t follows that
even those delegates appointed by State con-
ventions are as free to vote ndependently Of
those instructions as are the delegates repre-
sentiDg districts.
These ars.the recorded DECISIONS OF the Re-
publlcon party in National convention, and they
are founded upon the fundamental principles
OF the Republican party that the majority must
govern; that the Republican conventions are
National, representing the people, and are not
merely representative OF State caucuses; that
" State sovereignty is not Republican device
to silfe the free action Of the whole people nor
OF the people OF anyiState.
These decisions affirm that the National con-
ventions OF the Republican party are conven
lions OF free men, representing free people.
and are not subject to dictation nor coercion
from any caucuses which may undertake be-
forehand to control and direct their votes. Ad
herring to these DECISIONS it is probable that the
Chicago convention will be free one, made up
OF free men, and, representing the whole Re-
publican party, will act for the interests of the
whole party, aud not ia the interest CT any syn
lcate which may have previously determined
" hat that action shall be.

THE WORLD" ON THE WOODRUFF
SWINDLE.

The New York World states the core OF the
case 30 that all may understand, as follows:
mr.. Garfield declares that he is willing to
reduce the duty on wood-pulp and on printing
paper as low as II can be reduced without alb
solutely destroying and Gripping the industry
OF the country What Mr.. Garfield means by
the unwilingness he expresses to destroy the
industries OF the country by repeating the duty
on wood-pulp, IS to preserve 70 Mr.. Warner
Miller, OF New York, and Mr.. William A. Rus
sell, OF VI massachusetts,, and the i've firms which
they represent in Congress- the privilege OF
extortlng tribute OF between two and three
cents on every pound OF printing paper sold
in this country. This is the simple fact. 1t
has been shown before the WAYS and Means
Committee that, whereas the cost OF produc-
ton OF printing-pa has increased within
the past eight months one and one-thrd cents
pound the price of printing paper has been
increased four cents pound. The difference
goes into the pockets OF Mr.. Warner Miller, of
New York. and Mr.. William a. Russell, OF
Massachusetts,, and OF the five firms which
they represent The wood-pup members are
helped to this enormous profit by the neglect
Of Congress to repair the inadvertence through
which Congress failed in 1872 to make Its
undoubted intention clear, and left an opening
for Mr.. Boutwell, to declare that paper stock,
crude, OF every description did not include
wcod-puip. When the repeal is effected, Mr..
Warner Miller, OF New York, and Mr.. William
A. Russell, OF Massachusetts,, will simply be
put in the position Of any other manufactur-
ere, with the chance Of earning an ordinary
profit on their products, but without the chance
of extorting an extraordinary profit by the
retention OF tax which is borne by every
newspaper -owner and will be borne by every
newspaper reader in the country, and which
Congress never meant 10 impose
But Mr.. Garfield, who has, no doubt clear
understanding of The whole matter, fears to
offend the affiliated rings whose interests alone
are consulted by those who have coobled up
the tariff system. Hence his evasion and un
happiness.
