Such action of solely in the interest of the International Paper company better known as the paper trust. The advocates of repeal without a good argument to present. The treaty was dead and doing harm There no reason why it should be repealed except the reason that the trust wanteed it repealed A previous hearing had shown that the paper and pulp schedule tariff was the least defensible all; that it was utterly without defense; that nobody but the trust. It could be urged of t as could be urged in defense of almost every other industry that American laborers paid better wages in consequence of the tariff the hear ing had shown that Canadian labors in the pulp and paper mills received higher were paid American laborers. Yet in spite of this and the Dingley tariff the Canadian manufacturers could almost meet the prices charged in country by the paper
