FIVE NEW PAPERS A DAY.
Birth Rate in United States and Canada

American Newspaper Annual and Direc-
tory, published here to-day.
The exact number begun is 1856. In
the same period 1850 were discontinued,
making the net increase for the year SO,
about equally divided between the
United States and Canada. As in recent
years, there We're many consultations.
Much the largest comparative growth
was in the daily field.
The publishing and printing industry,
which the annual and directory repre-
sents, is one that, in number of EN-
ployes, value of products, and value ad-
ded by manufacturers, is exceeded only
by four Others in the entire realm of our
country's manufacture. The increase in
value of output in this industry is re-
markable. In ten years it was more
than So per cent. The annual income Of

timated at $3.50 100000 million dol

of witnesses that promised to occupy

Most of the witnesses want retention
OF the present tariff on the products
OF their industries. The testimony all
through the tariff hearings has been lib
orally sprinkled with politics, the Demo-
cratic members of the committee con-
tending for the principles of tariff for
revenue only, with occasional free trade
suggestions, and the Republicans intend
ing in their examination of witnesses
to bring out the efficac yof the doctrine
of protection for home industries and
the working operation of the Payne
Aldrich tariff law. The remaining hear
ings will be on the free list, the mis-
eellaneous provisions and the administra-
tive features of the tariff.
Chairman Underwood stated at the
opening of yesterdays hearing that the
present 30 per cent. tariff on harness
and saddlery was too high. The state
ment was made while +. w. Campbell
of Cincinnati, representing a saddlery
association, was pleading for the reten-
ton of the duty. 1--WE are not going
to write prohibitive tariff" said Mr..
Mr.. Campbell testified that when the
conferees between the two houses were
framing the Payne Aldrich law, Presi-
dent Taft asked him what he thought
was proper saddlery tariff, and the
witness telegraphed the associations
