PRINT-PAPER. ARGUMENTS BEFORE THE WAYS AND MEANS COM> MITTEE. Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, ‘Wasuisaton, D. C., March 13—The continua- tion of the hearing before the Ways and Means Committee to-day on the Fort bill to reduce the duty on printing-paver was a farce. The wood- pulp makers not only occupied three-fourths of the three hours, but they were sodefiant and ag- gressive that the non-protectionist members seemed to be completely bulldozed. Not the leastenteresting part of the performance was the appearance before the Committee of two members of Congress,—Miller, of New York, and Russell, of Massachusetts,—who assumed to in- struct the Committee upon every phase of paper-making, and insisted that it was the paramount duty of Congress to protect wood-pulp. Russell, particularly, was unspar- ing in his denunciations of the press. Tue Cmi- CAGO TRIBUNE, he said, had been the first to start the cry of “ Down with the duty on paper and its components.” It was stated that he (Russell) derived AN ANNUAL INCOME OF $300,000 or $400,000 from his profits in the monopoly of puip-mak- ing. The truth was very far below that figure perhaps. During the years following the War his income might have been as large as that from bis entire business, which includes the manufacture of paper as well as pulp. He said whatever newspapers might say of him, he felt it to be his duty to defend his own personal in- terests, and he should continue to do 40 even if political death were the result. ‘Miller argued in MUCH THE SAME WAY, and spoke with bitterness of the treatment he had received from newspapers, which he repre- sented as attacking him without reason, honest motive, or a basis of fact. It is characteristic of all tariff discussions in Congress and before the Committee of Ways and Means that the advocates and defenders of pro- tection are always better organized, and fight with more determination and with better system, than their opponents. They gouerally are bet- ter prepared with the details of the mattors un- der discussion, The Committee itself is un- doubtedly organized in the interests of protec- tion, and this was never shown more concluaive- ly than to-day, Kelley, Garfield, Frye, and Con- ger seemed to beactive and aggressive protec- tionists. An advocate of free trade coming be- foro that Committee can scarcely hope for falr treatment at the hands of Kelley, who seems to regard any argument against high protection as A PERSONAL AFFROST, hearing, Frye has .worried without mercy Mr. Brooks, the only champion the newspaper pub- lishers have sent here, and ithas come out dur ing the argument that Frye himself 1s counsel for the Dennisons, a large wood-pulp man- ufacturing firm in Maine. Messrs. Wood, Gib- son, and Tucker have taken a neutral stand, at Jeast so far as one.can gain from what they have said, while Messrs. Carlisle and Morrison have remained in the background, asking but few questions. Mills, of Texas, an out-and-out free-trader, became so disgusted this morn- ing when a new pulp man from Cincinnati was introduced at the beginning of the fourth hour that he demanded from the Chairman some information as to WHEN THE HEARING WOULD END, and, failing to elicit a satisfactoryresponse, be sprang to his feet and sald: “If the Committee of Ways and Means intends to stay here any longer, spending its valuable time jn consider- ing the matter of a revenue 80 trifling that a man can put it in his pants pocket, I shall ro.'" ‘At the door Mr. Mills turned, and, facing the Committee, said: “We have been hearing these men two hours yesterday, and nearly threo- hours to-day, but the Committee has beard. nothing fn favor of the people cf the United: States, who have sent hundreds and thousands of petitions here, praying for a reduction of this unnecessary tax.” In the course of his remarks, while paying his respects to Tak CaIcago Trisuxe, Mr. Russell suid that paper, while clamoring fora reduction, in tho price of paper, had nover thought to re~ duce its own price. On the contrary, it bad re- cently advanced its price, and afterwards was obliged to reduce it to the old fiure. After ho gat down Mr. Russell was reminded that this statement was untrue; that THE CAIcCAGO ‘Tripunz had made no such advance, and that bo must bave had in mind another Chicago newspuper. Ho promised to make s jon of hisstatement, but neglected ty do so, Ho made the further statement that noneof the Jeading newspapers of the country bad ever ro- duced their prices, although material had gone down very much since War times. He was rom pely met, however, by the publisher of the few York }Forld, who called his attention to the fact that twoor three yearsago neurly all of the New York newspapers, including the rerald, Times, World, Post, Express, and others, had reduced their price from four to three cent and one of these even to two cents: Brooks, of the New York Express, spoke in sarcastic terms of the two Congressmen who so far forgot the dignity of their Posen, as to come before the Committee us lobbyists in thelr own pool in- terests. He insisted that the plaln intention of the law of 1871 was to place wood-pulp ON THE FREE LIST, and again quoted Boutwell’s ictter of March 3, ‘1878, to the Uollector of the Portof New York, giving to the law the construction under which Food: pulp has ever since borne a duty of 20 per cent. He also gave the amount of revenue col- lected from this source for several years. to show that the duty Is not for revenue, but for protection only. In 1873 the amount of this rev- enue was $74; in 1874, nothing; in 1870, noth- ing: in 1876, $385; in A8i7, $A; 10 18:8, $28. This exhibit shows more clearly than any ar- guments can that the duty goes info the ckets of Messrs. Russell, Miller, et al. Mr. Brooks refuted the argument ‘that paper in advancing from six to nino cents per pat is simply partaking of the impetus given by tho ‘Dusiness boom by showing thas wi oe oxoep tions only of fron and brick, used building purposes, no other articles had ad- vanced in anything like the same degree. In coffee; sine eee: last, there has peed, Eo aa vance; in sugar, 20 per cent; wheat, 50 per cents cotton prints, from 9 to 13 per cent; printing~ aper, 50 to 80 per cent. Pefio imprestion made upoo the Committe a. and he resents it accordingly. In the present .
