TARIFF TAX ON WOOD PULP A COSTLY ONE. flTay Coi.,,.,.1 Subicrlbers to ray More for Their Country Nowspupiir Tlio try for Its Iimtant Heponl In Very J. olid rnnm- Trust liolibery. There are very conclusive reasons why (hp present tariff tax on wood pulp and printing paper should be repealed, re-pealed, and there is no reason In the imerest of American industry that pleads for the continuance of these taxi's. They are now simply an element ele-ment of robbery under color of law, and they should be effaced from our statutes. The paper trust is now taxing the nev-,paper and book publishers of the country many millions, not because of any such actual increase in the cost of producing paper, but because the trust has the power to extort from the purchasers pur-chasers of paper up to the extent that would make tariff-taxed foreign paper anil pulp cheaper than the prices demanded de-manded here. This trust has played its scheme of extortion to the uttermost, and congress should at once remove the tax that protects no American industry in-dustry and that has become only an a pent to rob the consumers. Two-thirds of the wood pulp used in the manufacture of paper for American consumption should come from Canada, Can-ada, but it is excluded by a tariff tax, and we are now rushing headlong in the destruction of our forests, while Canada, with its almost limitless supply sup-ply of timber, cannot reach our markets mar-kets because of the tax imposed by the tariff. The two conclusive reasons which should make congress act promptly are first, that the paper trust should be at once halted in its rapid destruction of our American forests by the admission admis-sion of free wood pulp from Canada; and. second, that tho present extortion practiced by the paper trust upon publishers pub-lishers of newspapers and books shall cease to have the protection of the government. gov-ernment. The time has come when any trust that makes arbitrary profits by tariff duties must cease to be protected by the government. Where American industry in-dustry needs protection it is reasonable reason-able to permit it, but where alleged protection is used only for systematic robbery, it must be overthrown. We can now manufacture paper as cheaply as any country in the world. There is no excuse whatever for a tax upon the manufactured articles, and the raw material should be free, not enly because the general principle is correct, but because if it shall not be lone promptly our forests will be practically prac-tically destroyed within a few years by tariff taxes excluding the lumber of Canada from our markets. Paper and pulp must be made free of all taxes.as the paper trust has dem-i onstrated that these taxes serve only a single purpose that is to invite rob-" bery under color of law. Philadelphia!
