Garfield, who isn member of the Ways and Menns Conunittee, has received a letter on the subject from Edwin Cowles, Esq., editor of the Oloveland Leader. It ts well understood that Mr. Cowles expresses the views of a vast mujority of the publishers of Uhlo and tho Nelihboring States, and that the statements are not in the least exaggerated. Following is tho Jotter in full: “CLEVELAND, March 19,—My Dean GENERAL? ‘The paper combination have ralsed the price of paper agnin,—thls tine 1% per cent. A momber of the ring bas pica out that after Congress ad- donras they will raise the price stil higher, —O5 per cent,—making the price 12 cents, an ndvance of 120 per cent over what we are pow paying under a contract which oxplres May 1. Our contract is 5% cents a pound. There waa a scramble nmong papermakers to got the con- tract at that price at the time it was mido, Inst April, which shows that there must be a rofit in it. At present prico it will enst us for paper tho twelve months after May 1, $21,000 to $21,000 inore thin jt has heretofore. If thoy ralge tho price to twelyo conts, as they almost certainly will {f thoduties on chemicals and putp fre not repealed, it will cost us $30,000 2 yenr more. The Increase in cost. nf course, will be tho same in proportion with all ather newspa- ers, nd minty will be driven ta tho wall. £ ‘0 given these Agures mercly to sho tho cnermity of the Increase, and also to show how itis outof all proportion. During tho War tho combination rilsed tho price to twenty-seven cents A pound, an Increase of 800 per ectit, whott gold avernged about 100, ‘This will show tho grasplug character of tha combination. Tho cost of manufacturing parce lant lenst @ per cont Jess ns compared with what it costbofore the War, whon it was mado out of pura cotton rags. i@ decrease in cost is owing to tha ttso of straw, wood, and othor materials which were not then tn use, and also owing to improvomont Inmachinory. If you cannot voto to reduco tho duty’ on paper, you certainly can tondmit chemicals ‘and wood-pulp free.
