H.,c. OF PAPER.

THE men who make the white print
paper are trying out a get-rich
caper. No pentup Utica contracts
them. and no sane statute counteracts
them. They view Ye Printers protests
sourly. and keep on raising prices hour
ly. Al. noon they send the price up
higher, and laugh to scorn the frenzied
buyer; and in the solemn midnight
watches, they raise the price . few
more notches. There Is no reason for
this plunder, for doubling prices up like
thunder, save that the paper sharks are
greedy, and are not loath to strip the
needy. From every section Of the ma
tion come cries Of grief and agitation
from publishers and kindred colonels
who say they must suspend their jour
nails. and take in washing for a Twin
unless relief to them Is given. The pa
per makers hear the roaring. and SCI
The flood Of briny pouring-the storm
Of wrath around them thickens--and
raise the price. to beat the Dickens. Be.
fore the finish Of this winter, we shall
behold, methinks. Ye Printer, shorn oi
his old time smile and chortle, draw
near the gloomy soup house portal, and
draw a free and filling ration provided
by a weeping nation.
