BREAK THE CORNER In PAPER,

Despite th g fact that cedar wood for
paper pulp is being cut in larger
quantities than ever before, the combi-
nation of paper-makers is rapidly
advancing the price of its goods. The
extortion is one of the most barefaced
and unwarrauted ever known under
the protective system. We cannot
get pulp from Canada without paying
a prohibitive tax, and the paper trust
is curtailing the domestic supply In
order to maintain the advanced price.
A remedy is to be found in the re.
opening of all closed mills for the
manufacture of rag paper, which can
now be made at profit. Not a pound
of wood pulp paper could be sold if
rag paper were in the market at the
same price. Ten years were re-
quired to displace it. About half
the mills finally replaced their reg
paper machinery with that for using
pulp. Bnt hundreds OF old mills, not
in the trust, can be started at a days
notice and run on rags. Every book
publisher would prefer to use rag
paper at present prices.
All the old mills are now engaged on
fine rag paper and straw board the
modern mill cannot compete with
them unless pulp is used.
Now is the time to strike for free
wood pulp, and the rag paper mill is
the weapon with which to deal the
blow. No surer means can be devised
to bro ak the corner in white paper for
daily newspaper use. The trust people
have already begun to declare that
they use proportion of rags, which

THE NEW FINANCIAL Law.

The financial bill which has now
become law is the first practical
legislation on the money question
which has been enacted since the Nc.
Kinley regime went into power.
Speaking of this law, Secretary Gage
says:
1T has for its first object what its
title indicates-the fixing of the
standard CT value and the maintain
ing as a parity with that standard OF
all forms of money issued or coined by
the United States.
sit resfhrms that the unit of value
is the dollar, consisting of twenty five
and eight-tenths grains of gold nine
tenths fine, but from that point it
goes on to make it the duty of the
Secretary of the Treasury to main
tain all forms Of money issued or
coined at a parity with this standard
1t puts into the hands of the Secre-
tary ample power to do that.
For that purpose the bill transfers
from the general fund of the Treas
ury's cash $15O,O0O,0OO in gold coin
and bullion to the redemption fund,
that gold to be used for the redemp-
ton of United States notes and Treas
ury notes. That fund is henceforsh
absolutely cut out Of and separated
from the cash balance in the Treas
ury, and the available cash balance
will hereafter show reduction Of
$3.50, 1000 600 from the figures that have
heretofore prevailed.
"This $150,0O0, 600 redemption fund
is to be used for no other purpose
than the redemption of United States
notes and Treasury notes, and those
notes so redeemed may be exchanged
for general fund or with the public,
SO that the reserve fund is kept full
with gold to the $3.50, 1000, 900 limit.
