From protection standpoint tho
justification Of u duty is the ability
which 1t gives to our manufacturers to
hold tho home market against the
more cheaply made products Of for,
eign labor.
From reYenue-tariff point of view
the justification OF duty is the money
1t will yield TO the National Treasury.
The duty on printing paper serves
neither Of these ends, We make paper
so much more cheaply than it is man-
ufactured abroad that we are able u
export it, and actually sold abroad last
year on average OF 1000 tons per week,
making shipments to England, Aus
tralia and japan.
No paper for news printing is Inn
ported, so that the duty Of SO per tor
yields no income.
The same thing is measurably true
Of wood pulp, upon which there 10 Z
duty Of Sl.67 per ton. About 10000
tons were imported last year, yielding
only Sal, ,s49 in reuenuo.
The tariff on paper being prohibi-
tory and the rate of wood pulp excess
i've, the only effect Of these duties il
to foster a monopoly This has been
the result The paper-makers formed
trust and raised the prices an aver

Of So, 1870, 900 per annum upon the news

The principle and the effect OF this,
as pointed out in the memorial of tho
Publishers Association to congress,
are the same as the stamp tax put
upon newspapers by the enemies OF a
free press in the time of Queen Anne,
Its tendency is to increase tho price
of newspapers or to diminish their
size and restrict their circulation. II

The Horseless Wagon.

1t is now two years by the clocl
since the first automobile sailed up
Fifth Avenue. We were witnesses OF
tho alarm with which horses viewed
its approach, The alarm was natural.
That solitary automobile was the her
aid OF their doom. 1t was something
else besides. We should like to be
pictorial and say that we regarded it
us phantom of the future, but we
prefer to be truthful and say that we
saw in it guarantee of clean streets.
The latter are not here yet, but, to use
u lIcgelism, they are in process of be-
coming. The sale of the last line oil
omnibuses of which the city boasts
and the declared intention of the pur'
chascrs to put automobiles in their
stead Is good deal more than step
in that direction, The organization
of company to do the trucking OF
the town automatically Is good
deal more than another. er.-Colliers

Catarrh in its various forms is rap
idly becoming a national curse. An
undoubted remedy has been discovered
by DR.. Hartman. This remedy has
been thoroughly tested during the past
forty years. Prominent men have
come to know of its virtues and are
making public utterances on the sub
iect. To save the country we must
save the people. To save the people
we must protect them from disease.
The disease that is at once the most
prevalent and stubborn Of cure is ca
tarrh. Public men Of all parties rec

Imperialism, wearing the veener OF
expansion is stalking abroad in the
land. Expansion is mild and eu-
phonious term. In the American mind
it is associated with the growth and
expansion of democratic institutions.
Expansion to the American mind offers
no suggestions of large standing arm
les and burdensome war taxes, but
these are the prerequisites of iIuper-
ialism.

Santa Fe's Immense Business

A Topeka special says: That the
Santa Fe road is doing an immense
business, both passenger and freight,
is borne out by the fact that they have
no idle cars, and are working an extra
force, ten hours in the car shops, turn
ing out new cars and repairing the old
ones as quickly as possible. An order
for $50 extra sized box cars has just
been completed. An order for 100
flat cars Is being rushed, and an order
for 300 additional box cars has been
placed and work already begun on
them.
In the passenger traffic the same
prevail. Not only are the
coaches filed. but they are overcrowd-
ed and passengers standing in the
aisles. The regular trains are not suf-
ficient to carry the increased travel,
and almost every day train No. 6 Is
run in two sections. For the past few

CLOSER ALLIANCE
With tire Oregon Short Line Is Plan
ned.

President Burt and several other
leading officials of the Union Pacific
are holding an executive conference
At Omaha to agree upon a plan OF
consolidating the system by closer
alliance with the Oregon Short
Line.
One view is that the Vanderbilt in
terests propose that the Union Pacific
be operated as at present, but that the
Short Line become part of the Union
Pacific, to be operated from Salt Lake
City. as now, and that after this has
been done the Short Line will gradual
ly take possession of the Oregon Rail
way and Navigation like and operate
that portion of the system from Salt
Lake City. This is made possible by
the Short line controlling the majority
of the Navigation stock. 1t is over
1900 miles from Omaha to Portland,
Ore, which Is said to be too long dis
tance for one line TO be successfully
operated.
Other reasons why the consolidation
is consid ered certain are: Judge San
born has discharged the successory re-
ceivers of the Short Line, Oliver w.
Mink ard Thomas P. Wilson.
The sale of the Northern Paci6c's
holdings of Navigation company pre-
ferred stock to syndicate of Union
Pacific interests is officially confirmed
at New York. Mellen, Lamont and
Carr offered to resign, but were asked
to remain in charge until the next an
