A FINE OBJECT LESSON

American Publishers Association
Asks For Free Paper and Free
Pulp-How the Newspapers Are
Squeezed By the Offspring of
Dingleyism-Need No Protection.


Washington, Dec. 27.-The American
Newspaper Publishers association has
presented to the Anglo-American joint
high commissioners a carefully pre-
pared argument in favor of free paper
and free pulp. The following is a
syllabus of the argument:
The directors of the American News
paper Publishers association, repre-
senting 157 daily newspapers of the
United States and representing the
bulk of the total consumption of print
paper, are in favor of free paper and
fee pulp. The tariff of Sc per ton on
print paper is prohibitory and we be-
lieve the rate of $1.67 per ton for me-
chemically ground wood pulp is excess
sive; that the American paper manu-
facturers need no protection, because
they can manufacture paper cheaper
than is done in any other part of the
world and that they are now supplying
the Australian, Japanese and British
markets in competition with Swedish
and German manufacturers; that no
print paper is brought into the United
States, but that during the last year
the export has averaged 1000 tons per
week, and that the entire revenue re-
ceived from the Importation of me-
chemically ground wood pulp was only
question of national economy could be
urged in opposition to free pulp and
free paper.
| The American manufacturers are
protected to the extent of $1.60 per
| ton, by reason of their proximity to
] their customers. The difference in the
cost of transportation to market is
| their great guarantee of security
against Canadian or any foreign coun-
| try. They are also protected by reason
of their ability to obtain cheaper and
more convenient supplies of coal and
! chemicals, which, as yet, are not OBJ
| tainable in the Canadian forests.
In January, 1898, all the big and
profitable paper mills Of the United
| States, with few unimportant excep-
| lions, were merged into the Interna-
tional Paper company, a combination
that absorbed twenty-four mills, pro
! ducing about so per cent of the entire
American output. This corporation, on
trust, was capitalized upon a basis ot
! $50 coo, 900. The pretext given for the
ability of mills to make paper at pre-
vailing prices-that bankruptcy stared
them in the face.
The combination was really formed
to protect the proprietors whose mills
| were in poor localities or on streams
that were running dry. Every mill
owner who entered that trust invited
a withdrawal of government favor
Excessive and improper prices were
paid for many mills that were located
on exhausted water courses and thai
were tributary to denuded timber
tracts.
Organizers of the trust frankly ad.
mitted at the outset that its common

JOE CANS THE WINNER.
co1ored Lad From Baltimore Defeats
Jack Daily.

New York, Dec. 27.-Joe Cans of
Baltimore outpointed Jack DAILY Of
Wilmington, Del, in a twenty-five
round bout at 135 pounds before the
Lenox Athletic club tonight, and the
referee decided in favor of the Balti-
mOrean.
The referees decision did not suit
many of those who watched the con-
test, but conservative judges agreed
that the colored boy was entitled to a
favorable verdict. Cans forced Daily
to do the leading and throughout the
fight he countered hard. He was al
ways ON the alert for a chance to
knock out his opponent but the OPP
portunfty did not present itself. Cans
was a top-heavy favorite in the bet
ting, but Days showing was a big
surprise to many of those who thought
that the colored man would have an
easy mark in the Delaware boxer.
In a preliminary bout, Jim Janey,
colored, of Baltimore, defeated Dan
Sullivan Of Boston in four rounds
easily.

the lack of generosity on the part of
the Americans had caused.
Regarding the future, he said ne

MORE CIlINALRN.

The considerable courtesy OF Admiral
Cervera in notifying the American
Admiral of Hobson's daring exploit

by Captain Evans of the Iowa, who
refused to receive the sword of Captain
Eulate OF the Nizcaya, when 1t was
rendered and in the reception of Ad-
miral Cervera, on the Iowa with mill
tary honors, after his surrender. These
incidents show how entirey imperson-
al warfare is among professional SOL
diers and sailors. During the Civil
War in the United States the men of
the rival armies in the earlier period
of the war, begrudged COurtesies, were
suspicious of unfair play. and delight
ed in 'potting" each other. Towards
the close of the war, the act Of fight
ing became impersonal, even to the eX
tent that discipline was at times en-
dangered by the individual flags of
truce, and personal intercourse of the
combatants on the picket line. At one

to tell what they actually see and
know, and not to waste the time given
up to the meeting. in giving their
crude opinions.
In one instance the study OF toys
for children was thoroughly made,
with the final result that majority
OF the members resolved to prevent
the use of extravagant toys, and dis
countenance the practice of presenting
such toys to children.
Inc insight into child nature, gain
ed by the keen and close observation
OF so many women, becomes of the
utmost value. To the mothers them
selves 1t is a higher education. They
are gradually led from a garrulous,
gossipy, vague and valueless talk about
children, to a patient and thorough
analysis, and diagnosis of child de-
velopment.
With this method Of study, the
mother becomes n scientist. AS she
becomes educated herself in this en-
vironment Of club life, she begins to
record In detail the facts in the child's
growth, uncolored with her affections.
These facts, gathered up in the course
OF years. become Of inestimable value.
without estimating the value Of pray
er in the education of the child. 1t
may be said that the labor involved
in prayer is trifling compared with
that OF the earnest study Of child life.
As the study of man is the highest
OF all studies, and woman is the ma
tural student of man in his early
growth, 1t follows that, in the coming
years, women should be the most
valuable of all scientists.
The value of these clubs Is In their
dealings with facts, and not traditions
and loose opinions. The old school
men, the philosophers, the theologi-
ans, hated facts, because they killed
theories. No men have been regarded
with more suspicion than Francis |
Bacon and Herbert Spencer. because |
they dealt with facts. which are as
dangerous to theories, as dynamite is |
to ships. But these women clubs are
learning how to handle the facts Of
child growth. so that like dynamite,
they will break up the absurd tradi-
tons about education.

up position and power with more salts

a deeper interest in the list Of sala-
ried Offices than in our glorious elm

CHILD STUDY.

In another column there appears an
interesting communication on child
study.
II Professor Marsh Is correct in
saying that man has lived on the
earn about 100000 years. he certain
ly has not been very active in study
ing up his own condition. Even in
the comparatively recent period of the
Adam and Eve era the study OF child
life was not thought Of In the majo-
rity OF homes in civilized lands il Is

mothers have been AFFECT slaves to
traditions of all kinds. In many cases
their devotion to, and self sacrifice
for their children. is of no greater
value morally than that of the Chinese
mothers who teach their children to
worship an assortment of little gilded
wooden gods.
But at last there is an awakening
among the American women at least.
There Is in New York City n club of
earnest, educated women, who have
advanced beyond the tea party stage
of social education, and have come to
the belief that the child world Is in
deed marvellous one, and requires
the most serious study. This club,
without publicity, or fireworks" quiet
ly moves about organizing other
clubs, for the thorough study of child
life. The members of these clubs are
original Investigators. No knowledge

may be called knowledge at second
hand is allowed to be presented. The
members 20 behind books, and do ORR
glnai work. Questions are seriously
discussed, because women are at last
beginning to realize their immediate
responsibility in child education.
Here is an illustration of the CUES
lions discussed by one of these clubs:

or to sensitive temperament" An
other: THE germ and nature of yari-
Gus falsehoods, whether due to fear,
