A specimen of the false pre-

who are responsible for it is
is found in the book of estimates
issued by Mr.. Al,lrichs committee
in which it brands as Injuries

cloths, costing only 20 cents a

are increases on all silks and

The Wood Pulp And Print Pa
per Schedule


No industry at the present tint
is moving under greater agi
tatiOn than the newspaper bust
ness of the United States be
cause of the depletion Of the
spruce forests. To add its mite
to the difficulty, Congress has re-
fused to revise the tariff so as to
permit of the importation of
wood pulp from Canada. Print
paper is bound to reach a vicious
~ exorbitant price under the Ope-
ration of the new tariff schedule.
The decision of Congress on this
question shows the utter diSre-
gard of the national welfare ex-
hibited by that body In the con-
sideratiOn of the tariff question.
Practically every township in the
United States has its newspaper
or other publication. Aside from
the great newspaper dailies in tn
big cities the price of print paper
is a controlling element in the
making of a newspaper, and, as
the newspaper reaches practical
ly every home, the price Of print
paper is a matter of concern in
every home.
The determination of Congress
not to reduce the tariff on paper
was due entirely to the influence
of Senator Hale of Maine and his
associates from New Hampshire.
Those two states control practi-
cally all the spruce timber this
side of the Rocky Mountains. 1t
is estimated that there are 35,-
OOO,OOO,O0O feet Of spruce timber
that territory and 2l,OOO,00O,-
900 is in the State of Maine.
is located in the State of Maine.
Among the confereeS on the part
of the Senate in determining the
tariff was Senator Hale of Maine
and among the House cOnfereeS
the name of the Hon. James r,
Mann Of Illinois does not appear.
The folly of that course may cas-
lily be indicated. Mr.. Hale had
a personal and political interest
in protecting the few owners Of
spruce timber of Maine against
any letting down Of the bars or
- Canadian spruce, while Mr.. Mann
