EARATO0A, Ne July So--lho Ameri
can Paper Makers Association held its
eleventh annual lessiou here to-day. Hon
Rys0n ilWasfSa, the president, Introduced
Hon. Warner Miller for an address.
Mr.. Miller spoke on the tariff ques.
ton In 1879 he said q movement was
made TO put news prints and wood pulp
on the free list. The speaker resisted It
cessfully aud thereby gained the
name Of "Woo1 pulp Miller" which he
regarded as q title of nobility. The re-
sult of keeping the tarin on paper had
been that home competition in less than
ten years had reduced news prints from
0 cents per pound to AZ cents, and
cents for the better article. The tariff on
soda ash has encouraged Its manufacture
IN this country and reduced the pr ce.
Alum has also been made here some,
and the price kept down The list of the
Mills bill puts alum oh the free list. The
foreigners will break down home manu-
factures. Bleach g powders are all
made abroad and foreign "trusts" have
put up prices as high as they will bear.
He estimates bleaching powders 80 per
cent higher than they would be If q tariff
induced home capital to enter into the
business. Ho said that In 1888 he cou-
sented TO a reduction Of the duty on wood
pulp and thought it had bad effect on
the labor question

during May and June over $4,000, 900
pages Of printed matter In favor of Pro
lection, being more than the Golden
Club had circulated in twenty-five years.
The Tariff League has clubs IN Boston,
AF o.
land, Oregon and other places.
