SAUCE FOR THE GANDER.

The newspapers of the country, in
Guiding hundreds of republican or
gans, are raising terrible howl about
the duty on wood pulp from which
print paper is made. They are busy
showing that, as {. result of this duty
the print paper makers have been
enabled to build up gigantie
monopoly hich is crushing the life
out OF the newspaper business. 1t is
not difficult to make out case and
it is likely that the power of the press
will result in forcing congress to re-
luce OF altogether do away with the
present city on wood pulp. This will
enable us to get our print paper from
Canada at a greatly reduced cost and
will save. it is estimated, about S2O.-
100000 per year for the newspaper
publishers of the country.
That is all we'll enough. Excellent
N fact, for we are in the business and
it's money in our pockets. But wha,
gets us is how the republican news
papers which are always crying for
protection of our infant industries
can square this howl for free wood
Fergus County Democrat., 1908-04-28

pulp with the editorial policies of high
tariff protection. Isn't the news print
trust just as much of an "infant in
dustry' as the Standard Oil trust
the Watch trust and hundred and
one other trusts which are being per-
petuated under our present tariff
schedules? And should it not be pro-
terted as we'll as they?
OF course, one cannot always tell,
but it does seem tc us that if we were
running republican newspaper and
filing tur columes with high tariff
arguments, so-called, every week,
we VOID be gam eand take our medi-
cineand pay, without murmur, the
tribute levied by the paper trust just
as millions of our fellow citizens are
paying tribute levied by the other
great trusts which control all of the
necessities of life.
We ', tuld not aim our blunderbuss
at the robber who is making away
with oul own pocket book without al
so taking a crack at the robbers who
have their hands in the pockets of
Our neighborts.
Almost every day the editor of this
paper receives letters frantically urg-
ing us to telegraph our representa-
tives in congress to do something
about the wood pulp agitation.
Thanks to the very same wood pulp
trust and a dozen or more of its
brother trusts who land us for a
small bunch each year, we have not
the price to pay for kilograms to our
congressmen; but if we ever do get
into the habit Of sending promiscu-
Gus telegrams, we will not conhne the
contents to request for action
against the wood pulp trust. We will
tell them to get in the line Of battle
against every trust Of every sort
which has been built up and is being
sustained by the policy Of protection
advocated and enforced by the politi-
cal party now in power in this nation
