MO RELIEF IN SIGHT.

The agitation for the repeal OF the
tariff on wood and paper will come to
naught. The newspapers thought
they had proved their case, and that

blocked the way and appointed a spe-
cial committee headed by Congressman
Mann OF Illinois. a stand-patter. TO in
vestigate the subject. Since last April
the committee has visited the various
paper mills and listened to the piteous
pleas of the members of the trust. and
now the public is informed. the presi-
dental campaign being over, that cur
gress will make no reduction at this
session in the tariff duties on wood
pulp or print paper.
Immediate action being out of the
question, the only hope lies in the char
acter of the revision of the schedules
by such worthless as Payne, Dalzeu and
Fordney, the triumvirate of the ways
and means committee. If the extreme
limit of patience of the Republican
newspapers has been reached and the
managers thereof rear up on their hind
legs and howl there may be some hope
of slight reduction Otherwise not.
The committee was appointed TO take
the question cut of the presidential
campaign, and that purpose having
been accomplished, it is now too late to
make an effective protest The Mann
