There arc very conclusive reasons
why the present tariff tax on wood
pulp and printing paper should he re-
pealed, and there Is no reason In tho
interest Of American Industry that
pleads for the continuance Of these
taxes, They are now simply an ele-
ment OF robbery under color OF law.
and they should be eitaced from our
statutes.
The paper trust Is now taxing tho
Newspaper and book publishers Of tho
country many millions. not because Of
any such actual increase In tho cost OF
producing paper. but because the trust
has the power to cxtort from the pur-
chasers Of paper up 10 the extent that
would make tarlii-taxcd foreign paper
and pulp cheaper than the prices de-
mandod here This trust has played its
scheme OF extortlon to the uttermost.
and congress should at once remove
the tax that protects no American in
duatry and that has become only an
agent TO rob the consumers.
Two-thlrda OF the wood pulp used In
the manufacture Of paper for American
consumption should come from Can
ada. but u rs excluded by tariff tax.
and We are now rushing headlong In
the destruction OF our forests, while
Canada, with lts almost llmitless sup
ply OF timber, cannot roach our mar
keta because Of the tax Imposed by
the tarln
The two conclusive reasons which
should make congress act promptly are
--nrst, that the paper trust should be
at once halted In rs rapid destruction
OF our American forests by the admls-
sion OF free wood pulp from Canada;
and, second that the prefont extortion
practiced by the paper trust upon pub
fishers OF newspapers and books shall
cease to have the protection OF the gov
eminent.
The time has come when any trust
that makes arbitrary profits by tariff
duties must cease TO be protected By
the government Where American In
dustry needs protection II Is reason.
able to permit II. but whore alleged
protection Is used only for aystemauo
robbery, II must be overthrow.
We can now manufacture paper as
oheaply as any country In the world
There IA no excuse whatever for a tax
upon the manufactured articles, and
the raw material should be free, not
only because the general principle Is
correct. but because II II shall not be-
done promptly our forests will be prac-
tleally destroyed within few years by
tariff taxes excluding the lumber OF
Canada from our markets.
Paper and pulp must be made FREQ
Of all taxes.aA the paper trust has dom
onatraiod that these taxes serve only a
single purpose-that Is to invite rob-
berry under color Of law.--Pbiladelpbia
