The Print-Paper Combine Nurtured by the Dingley Law. Chicaco Record The print-paper trust has come into existence Mince the passage of , the Dingley tariff act. White! paper has virtually doubled in price within the lust two yearn, largely, it is charged, because of the control exercised by the trust. The print paper tr.*at might have come into existence, perhaps, ,er? without governmental aid, but it cannot he denied that the ability to control prices win due in large measure to the act of the government in protecting tno trust from outside competition. The Dinglev law imposed high rat? a of duty on wood pulp and other ma tsrials entering into the manufacture of white print paper. In consequence, if the trust could control the principal sources of , supply of raw material in this i country, which it has succeeded in doing, it could fix the price of paper to consumers to suit i itself. i Manifestly, tariff protection in 1 such a case is mischievous instead ' of serving a good purpose, and ! the duties ought to be repealod as speedily as porsihlo. The Colorado Editorial association, in the meeting pi-t adjourned, adopted resolutions demanding the imiin1. dinte repeal of the duty on wood pulp and all other materials en- J terinir into thn manufacture of 1 white paper 1 he subject isal-o : to he brought up at the meeting 1 of the National Kditorial nssoeiation at New Orleans, Feb 2<?. The attention thus directed to the 1 question will help the people to ' understand the relation existing j between protective duties and some trusts. li^nMflMOMnMrvwsnBnHaaaBKir; Notice Final Discharge. \T()1I K I MKKKItY tlven -hat I I ' iln* tlS'li (hy of March, til'" llif i inlci-ii!' e i will niske n tln?l refur* to he I'rniuite *' art ?c l.anuast*' t'onnty a* rl apply io ai-t f'ourt for a' It mo 111 -< t jove as kiihiiH or of I,aw - I react* It Kelly I .
