IT will be well for the assailants Of
Senator elect Miller of New York, to
contradict and disprove his state
ments in regard to the price of paper
IN London, before they attack him as
the special attorney of the paper man
ufacturers. Mr.. Miller is interested
in that business himself, and favors
the retention of the tariff on print
ing paper. For this he is accused of
selfshness. But he states that pa
per is sold in this country as low as
it is in London. That being true, we
do not see that consumers here
are injured by the tariff, and until
the statement is disproyed the at
tacks made upon him are as nothing.
The fact is, Mr.. Miller is in favor of
a protective tariff as we are, and as
majority of the American people
are, and while the free traders do
not have the courage to attack him
generally on that position, they ex-
pect to make capital by speaking of
the protection Of an article in the
manufacture Of which he is directly
interested. We are glad that he is
sound on this great question, and
the people Of the coun ry indorse
his position.
