WOOD PULP.

The actual cost has been raised in making a ton of print paper

the paper trusts have raised the price of So per ton in the last
i've years. This a specimen of trust robbery fostered under the
Republican administration. Many representatives of the news.
paper fraternity are In Washington demanding a repeal of the
tariff on news print paper and wood pulp. 1t will be remembered
that Mr.. Cannon, the Speaker of the House, appointed a select
committee to investigate the matter, but the newspaper publishers
are impatient, as well they may be, of this dilatory procedure. The
matter has been investigated over and over again. The results
of the investigation have been spread far and wide. Everybody
knows that every variety of paper is necessarily expensive-more
so than it has been heretofore, Notwithstanding improved and
cheaper methods OF manufacture. This is why the publishers do
not want to wait for a clap trap inquiry. They want the tariff re-
pealed. This is simple enough. Let Congress comply with their
request-repeal the duties and no one doubts that there will be a
prompt decline in the price of paper.
