After having shaken the inan-

to attack American industries in
detail, beginning with the paper
making trade.
Congress is to be urged to
abolish import duties on white
paper and wood pulp used il the
manufacture Of paper, and every
thing is to be done that the pub
fishers of the one cent news
papers may deem necessary to
buttress up their Improbable

he IS completely ignorant Of
what ii common knowledge he
must be aware that the one cent
newspapers are Ia dire financial
straits, owing, however, to their
own unbusinesslike methods and
cntthroat rivalry and not to the
exactions of the paper manufac-
